- Lot Description
Springfield Model 1873 Carbine
.45-70 caliber, 22" barrel with single barrel band with stacking swivel, S/N 35514 . Blued and color casehardened finish, smooth walnut stock. Standard early Springfield trapdoor lock markings with 1873 date, 1873 breech block markings over crossed arrows, no barrel proofs. Legible SWP/1888 cartouche opposite lock and faint [circle]-P proof behind triggerguard. High arch breech, 2-click tumbler, smooth trigger. 1873 pattern rear sight graduated to " 12 " on the ladder, 1st type carbine front sight, sling bar without ring, solid buttplate. The initials JB are stamped in the buttplate tang and behind the sling bar, in front of the cartouche. Stock is a later M1884 carbine stock drilled for tools and accessories. The carbine could be a "cleaned and repaired" arsenal refurbished example or simply an early 1873 carbine that had its stock replaced at some point during its lifetime. Essentially a straight M1873 carbine that only needs an early stock to return it to its "as made" configuration.
Good. Retains some of a later added blue finish, markings clear in metal, mechanically functional, good bore with frosting and light pitting. Stock worn with bumps and dings, weak marks and some added finish.Condition
