This lot features an early Model 1884 Springfield .45-70 caliber cavalry saddle ring carbine, serial number 343807. This is a fine early carbine that was made in 1886 and has the correct sling ring bar. It also has the Model 1884 Buffington ladder rear sight that is adjustable for windage and long range elevation with either “peep” aperture or “V” notch for sighting, etc. marked (R). This is a true U.S. issued carbine made for the Indian Wars. Uncleaned, naturally aged metal has a smooth dark aged blue patina and shows no evidence of abuse. This carbine has the early "U.S. MODEL 1873” marked breech block (this was the year of introduction for the Trapdoor Springfield in .45-70 caliber) with the correct “U.S. SPRINGFIELD” marked lock plate and eagle motif with a 22" round barrel. It features excellent mechanics and very good bore, displaying good rifling. The walnut stock displays typical weathering from long outdoor use, with some normal shrinking from age; overall, it is a very fine Indian Wars cavalry Trapdoor Carbine. This is the standard model that was used in every major engagement from the Battle of the Rosebud and Battle of the Little Bighorn to Wounded Knee. This is a fine, uncleaned, attic-condition, attractive example with wonderful Western Indian Wars history. Serial Number: 452613. This firearm qualifies as an Antique and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
