Description:
MODEL 1884 CAVALRY CARBINE TRAPDOOR SPRINGFIELD, #451XXX, MADE A YEAR BEFORE THE 7TH CAVALRY INDIAN MASSACRE AT WOUNDED KNEE, SOUTH DAKOTA, DECEMBER 29, 1890. This was the last of the historic .45-70 Trapdoor Carbines that was soon to be replaced with the smokeless powder .30-40 Krags. This is an issued and used example that is in solid condition. It shows honest sling wear on the stock behind the ring bar. Overall the wood is solid and shows normal cavalry wear. No cartouche is visible. The top of the wrist behind the upper tang has a rack or unit number “D 88” on a small rectangular piece of German silver that is tacked in place- meaning unknown. It has the excellent “C” (carbine) marked fully adjustable Buffington rear sight with corresponding protective font-humped barrel band. Breech block correctly marked “Model 1884.” The lock plate has the clear and sharp eagle motif and “U.S. Springfield.” Coarse knurled early style hammer and two-click tumbler. Deep aged blue mixing with plum/brown barrel with some very old and worn in roughness on the top of the barrel just ahead of the receiver. Good aged blue on the bottom of the trigger guard and lower tang. Bright excellent bore with only a spot or two of pitting. Correct trap in butt plate for cleaning rods. Lots of history in this one.
