Antique rifle Springfield model US Model 1873, .45-70 cal Single Shot Trap door, w/ bbl length 32 5/8" [Blued barrel and receiver. Fixed front and adjustable rear sights. Full length military stock. Missing front band and cap. Action and trigger appear to function reasonably well. Dummy round did not go into chamber however, we presume it is .45-70 cal and the internal corrosion is preventing cartridge from seating. Marking include "US MODEL 1873" on breech block, 'US SPRINGFIELD" with eagle logo on lock, "VP" on barrel etc. Most bluing worn leaving gray patina and some pitting. Some cracks in stock, no pieces missing. Stock appears to be re-varnished with use, handling and storage marks on wood and metal.] serial # 224285, No PAL required. Descriptions subject to change.
