I would suggest checking the website of the Dixie Gun Works in Union TN, they have a large selection of parts for new and reproduction muskets. Whilst waiting for them to ship the part I might suggest making your own from quarter inch round brass stock with a tapped short peice of half inch oak dowell for the head. Works for us in the 54 MA USV (Colored)
