Unknown Civil War Grey Shell Jacket Identified Confederate or UCV or Militia

Unsure of the history of this jacket, but it is CW era in construction techniques. The coat is cadet grey wool with unbleached osnasburg lining. Wide ballooned sleeves, single chest pocket. Black pumping along the collar.

A few moth nips, staining in the lining. In the body of the lining in period ink is'Pvt. James Weems / 1st Maryland Flying Artillery / of Cpt. Some of the writing is hard to read but with internet searches, roster searches, indeed there is a Privates James Weems of the 1st Maryland Artillery (at the time called Flying Artillery) which was a Confederate Artillery unit raised in Richmond, VA in July 1861. The jacket bears many resemblances to the Richmond Depot type jackets.

It has a nine button front with hand sewn buttonholes and looks at one time buttons were added and now missing. My guess is that this is a CW period coat union or confederate that may have been repurposed for a UCV coat?
