I found a link somewhere with a picture of one for sale that looked identical, but it didn't have very much info. Can't find that link any more either.

I don't think it is American Made. If it was a Harpers Ferry model it would be stamped. Its possible it was used in the CW and then shipped back to Europe for use. I know a guy who bought a carbine in Afghanistan and it was used in the CW.
