About Us: We are an “Old School” gun store with a vintage Western style. We do carry various modern pistols, revolvers and long guns. However, our specialty is vintage firearms including bolt action, lever action and semi automatic rifles. For example, we usually have at least two or three M-1 Garand rifles at any given moment. Other times we may have one or two Springfield 1903 rifles. Also in stock are a few dozen lever action rifles available in different calibers & barrel lengths. Lastly, we have a wide variety of Colt Single Action Army revolvers in different calibers and barrel lengths. (NOTE: we try & remove items from Guns International ASAP if they are sold through our retail location, but there may be a slight delay in doing so)


Description:
Attention Civil War enthusiasts: check out our latest acquisition here at the shop. It is a Springfield Trap Door Cadet 68 in 50-70 caliber. Has a date of 1864 stamped on the right side, along with a cartouche in the stock on the left side. An eagle along with U.S. Springfield is marked in front of the hammer on the right side. Very good bore. If this rifle could talk, the history that it has seen would make for quite a story. From our research, there was only 310 of this particular model made. Please see pictures for more details. Since this item was made in 1864, no FFL needed for pick up.
$2095 + $50 for shipping. (Sorry, but the Post Office has raised the prices for shipping large items. Handguns are still $30 shipping) Major credit cards accepted with a 4% fee. Personal checks are also welcome, however we do not ship the item until your check clears our bank. Business hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 9 AM to 5 PM. Closed on Sunday and Monday. We are located in Waynesboro Pennsylvania, about 30 miles west of the Gettysburg battlefields. If you're ever in the area, stop on by and look over our extensive selection of vintage and modern firearms at George Herold's Gun Shoppe. We look forward to seeing you!
