Springfield Armory Model 1873 Carbine
Serial Number 20775 .45 / 55
Description: Springfield Armory Model 1873 Carbine Serial Number 20775 .45 / 55 This carbine was made between April and June of 1874. It is in original configuration with all the correct features. It does not have later upgrades and modifications. One noteworthy feature is the absence of a stacking swivel. Stacking swivels were added about the same time this carbine was made, between serial numbers 20,000 and 21,000. The breech block assembly is nice and tight and functions properly. The breech block and lock assembly are both properly marked for this serial number range. The tumbler has two notches that were used until about serial number 28,000 when they were changed to three. The breech block contains a spring loaded firing pin. The breach block latch has the proper firing pin relief U shaped cut. The bore shows light pitting and frost its entire length. The witness marks on the barrel and receiver are in perfect alignment. The stock shows extensive wear due to heavy use in the saddle. This is most evident rear of the sling ring bar from the snap swivel of the sling and another area forward of the lock plate from saddle pommel and boot ware. There is also a lot of wear in the barrel band area. The stock had several cracks that have been repaired. There are also some drying cracks under the butt plate around the lower screw hole but are not significant. The rear trigger plate screw hole as well as the lower butt plate screw hole were stripped out and have been repaired. There is a chip of wood missing in the breech block latch recess. There are many scratches and dents throughout. The cartouche as well as the firing proof are worn away. A stock fitter’s mark is visible and appears to be an O or D.

There is no proof but the consensus is that it was most likely used by the 10th Cavalry at Fort Concho in western Texas. This carbines serial number was researched by the U.S. Martial Arms Collector in Cabin John, MD with no results. They were glad to have the information of the carbines existence.
