- Lot Description
Springfield Model 1879 Carbine Star Marked
.45-70 caliber, 22" barrel with single barrel band without stacking swivel, S/N 189191* . Blued and color casehardened finish, smooth walnut stock. Standard early Springfield trapdoor lock markings with 1873 date, 1873 breech block markings, standard barrel proofs. Very weak SWP/1881 cartouche opposite lock and faint [circle]-P proof behind triggerguard. Low arch breech, 3-click tumbler, grooved trigger. 1879 pattern rear sight graduated to " 15 " and correctly marked " C " on the ladder, pinned blade front sight, sling bar and ring, trapdoor in butt with 3-piece cleaning rod and M1884 headless shell extractor. These "star" marked carbines were assembled at Springfield for the use of state militias (National Guard) circa 1881-1882, using available parts on hand, including a combination of newly made and salvaged parts from earlier guns that had been turned in, thus they do not always conform exactly to standard production models in terms of features or markings.
Good to very good. Retains much of the blued finish and some strong traces of case coloring, with clear marks in metal. Mechanically functional, very good bore. Wood sanded with marks weak and smeared and scattered bumps and dings present.Condition
