Description:
LAST OF THE FAMED .45-70 CALIBER TRAPDOOR SPRINGFIELDS IS THIS MODEL 1888 ROD BAYONET MODEL RIFLE, #514XXX, MADE 1891. This final style was considered the finest shooting of all the Trapdoors. This original example has a paint-stenciled rack number of “5” over “C” over “29” on the right side of the butt stock. It also has a sharp and matching manufacture dated stock cartouche of 1891 as well as the circle P proof cartouche behind the lower tang. Correct 1884 dated breech block and eagle motif “U.S. Springfield” marked lock plate. Tight action, exc. bright bore, correct Buffington rear sight. Barrel blue mixing evenly with plum from age and shows no cleaning or steel-wooling. Stock generally excellent showing only the lightest of storage/handling. Correct trap in butt plate for cleaning rods. Rod bayonet intact and fully functioning/sliding and locking into place. Dark mottled breech block, lock plate etc. Really nice example with Springfield quality unequaled by anyone else at the time. These are still cheap!
