1858 Springfield

The musket that my great grandfather used in the Civil War musket has, "1858 Springfield" clearly stamped into the metal, and also has the number 12 stamped less clearly into the stock, yet I can't find any references to this model rifle. Do you have any information about it? Thank you.
