INDIAN WARS Antique US SPRINGFIELD Model 1879 Breech Loading TRAPDOOR Rifle With U.S. BAYONET and SCABBARD w/U.S. LEATHR FROG
Description: INDIAN WARS Antique US SPRINGFIELD Model 1879 Breech Loading TRAPDOOR Rifle With U.S. BAYONET and SCABBARD w/U.S. LEATHR FROG Here we present an antique U.S. Springfield Model 1879 Trapdoor Rifle, made in 1883 at the Springfield Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts. After the Civil War, the War Department wanted a breech-loading rifle. To be specific, it wanted a breech-loading rifle that would chamber a self-primed, metallic cartridge. Amazingly, despite the adoption of the ill-fated Model 1882 Chaffee-Reese Bolt Action Magazine Rifle, new models of trapdoor rifles continued to be produced and used all the way through the mid-1890s, until finally, the Krag-Jorgensen was adopted. The U.S. continued to see unrest and conflict with the displaced Native Americans during this time, including the Wounded Knee Massacre on December 29th, 1890. Trapdoors continued to see use all the way through the Spanish American War. This example has an 1883 dated inspector cartouche with the initials “SWP”, for Master Armorer and Ordnance Inspector Samuel W. Porter The overall condition is fine. Original blue and case color finish. Excellent action. Bright, rifled bore. Solid stock all around, contains an inspector’s cartouche on the left wrist (SWP/1883). Legible markings. “US” marked bayonet, lock, and buttplate tang. “1878” dated trap door. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 32-5/8 inches. Caliber: .45-70 Government Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $2200 #220244 SOLD Antique: Yes |
