Original ramrod for Springfield 1861 musket

[Speedybruin4]

I recently inherited a Model 1861 musket and it appears to be original, but is missing the ramrod. I am wanting an original one to make it look complete. I have looked on Dixie Gun Works and SS Firearms with no luck. I found one on Shiloh Civil War Relics. Does anyone have any experience in dealing with them? Also is there anywhere in the state where I could acquire one?

Thanks for the help INGO

My friend is into civil war stuff, he uses Lodgewood in Wisconsin. Their website is Lodgewood.com
I've met the people that run it and they seem pretty nice.

Shiloh is good, you can trust them. Lodgewood is also good. If you can wait for the next big show in Louisville you can usually find them cheaper there.
