Model 1873 Springfield trap door rifle

Description:
Model: US Model 1873
Serial Number: 7054
Year of Manufacture: Ca. 1874
Caliber: .45-70
Action Type: Trap door
Markings: The Side of the barrel is marked “VP (Eagle head) P" Top Strap marked with a "U" Right side Plate marked "US Springfield" with Eagle Crest

Finish Originality: yes
Bore Condition: Bright shinny sharp and clean.
Overall Condition: The markings are clear. Overall, this rifle rates in about Very Good condition. Will clean much better.

Our Assessment: A nice honest piece of military history. As was the practice of the military this arm had the metal and the wood coated with linseed oil. It has hardened into a varnish that has protected the metal and makes it look darker than it is. It would benefit by having that removed and would cause a great difference in upgrading the appearance, value and make all the markings more readable.Missing both lock screws.
