- Lot Description
.45-70 caliber, 22 in. barrel, S/N 20560. L and R inspector markings are stamped at the breech of the barrel. An eagle head and other proofs are absent from the barrel, as is correct on all early production 1873 carbines prior to serial number 50,000. The breechblock is marked Model 1873 over an eagle head and US, with the interior marked with a T. The lockplate is marked US Springfield 1873 with an eagle motif. A sharp and crisp ESA inspector's cartouche is stamped in an oval on the left of the stock, with a V and C stamped on the underside behind the triggerguard. Stock with U marked barrel band, saddle bar and ring and US marked buttplate. Earliest model carbines, such as this rare specimen, were made without the stacking swivels on the barrel bands.
Provenance: N. Flayderman and Co., Inc.Retaining most of the arsenal blue finish with only the slightest of fading at the muzzle. Oil hardened breechblock with black appearance correct, as seen on early specimens. Stock with nice opened grain, crisp and mint ESA cartouche, with only one or two minor storage marks. No firing proof behind the triggerguard. Stock with some nicks and dings. Bore is excellent. This is a very fine early 1873 carbine that was more than likely never issued.Condition
