Description:
Serial #260134, .45-70, 32 1/2” barrel with a fine, bright bore that has a small amount of freckling within the grooves. This rifle has an overall freckled brown patina on the barrel and receiver with some light fading at the muzzle and on the raised and exposed edges. The low-arch breechblock likewise has a matching ruddy-brown patina, but does have bright original color case-hardening on the underside. This freckled gray-brown patina continues on the hammer and lockplate. The walnut stock has scattered small handling marks and bruises in the otherwise fine military oil finish and a still relatively crisp “SWP/1884” cartouche is present on the left side of the wrist. The rifle is accompanied by a Model 1873 socket bayonet in matching condition with even, brown freckling throughout, as well as some spots of dark oxidation within the hollow ground back flutes. This is a very nice example of a U.S. Trapdoor rifle overall, and comes with a handsome, matching condition accessory. Shoud make a great shooter or wall piece. Antique
