VERY FINE EARLY MODEL 1879 .45-70 TRAPDOOR RIFLE, #152XXX, MADE 1881
Description: EARLY MODEL 1879 .45-70 TRAPDOOR RIFLE, #152XXX, MADE 1881. A really fine example with a very sharp 1881 cartouche and Circle P cartouche. Excellent stock showing very light handing only with tight wood to metal fit, barrel blue shows a little age and some light mixing plum, but still fine, correct rear sight with original slotless screws, breech block correctly marked “US MODEL 1873” and is a dark gray/brown color with good case color on the upper tang. Lower tang shows good blue with thinning blue on the bottom of the trigger guard bow only. Bore is fine+ and shows good rifling throughout with only light surface roughness that looks like it will brush out after a good oiling. As I always say, these original Trapdoors with cartouches are great bargains on the collector market today as they are superbly built, popular .45-70 caliber and very historical! The Italian reproductions cost more than this one is priced! SOLD Antique: Yes Manufacturer: Springfield Model: 1879 TRAPDOOR RIFLE Serial Number: 152XXX Caliber Info: 45-70 Condition: FINE+ |
