- Lot Description
.45-70, 22" barrel, S/N 41745. Blued and case hardened finish, walnut "long wrist" or "short comb" stock. Lock with "3-click" tumbler marked with US eagle and in three lines US / SPRINGFIELD / 1873. High-arch breech block marked MODEL / 1873 over an eagle's head and crossed arrows, over US. No barrel proofs as is correct. 1873 pattern rear sight, pinned front sight blade, single barrel band with stacking swivel, sling bar and ring on reverse. Partially legible ESA cartouche on counterpane, and visible Circle-P mark behind triggerguard. A solid example of a scarce pre-1876 Model 1873 carbine that retains its original stock and that has not been upgraded or modified.
Good to very good. Retains some blue, mixed with an oxidized brownish patina that may have been chemically enhanced. Metal with some pitting, particularly on the barrel between the barrel band and forend tip and along most of the edge of the stock. Good bore is moderately pitted but retains good rifling. Stock is solid with legible inspection marks, showing bumps and dings, and a tiny crack on the reverse between the receiver and sling bar.Condition
