- Lot Description
Springfield Model 1880 Triangular Bayonet Rifle
.45-70 caliber, 32.625" barrel with two barrel bands, S/N 157606 . Blued and color case hardened finish, smooth walnut stock. Standard Springfield lock markings and barrel proofs, 1873 marked breech bock, standard barrel proofs, script SWP/1881 cartouche on reverse of stock and double [circle]-P proofs behind triggerguard. Low arch breech, smooth trigger, 3-click tumbler. 1879 buckhorn rear sight, retains stacking and both sling swivels, buttplate with trapdoor and stock drilled for accessories. Triangular ramrod bayonet with appropriate latch system. A scarce example of a US M1880 "Trials Rifle," of which only 1,001 were manufactured to test the practicality of the ramrod bayonet on an infantry rifle, a concept that had been briefly tried with the Hall Carbine issued to the US Dragoons during the 1830s and was promptly abandoned. This rifle started the flirtation with the ramrod bayonet concept that would enamor the Ordnance Department until the early 1900s.
Fine. Retains most of the blued finish with some thinning and loss, showing scattered flecks of surface oxidation. Block with traces of case color, all markings crisp and clear. Mechanically functional, good bore with frosting and light pitting. Wood with scattered bumps, dings and mars.Condition
