Description
U.S. M1868 Springfield .50-70 Breech Loading Rifle, #12923. Breech block dated 1869. Metal overall with dark smooth patina, completely untouched. 1863-dated Springfield lock. The trigger guard bow is mounted backwards and the lower sling swivel is missing. The wood overall is really excellent with visible inspector's cartouche, again totally untouched. There is, however, a clean crack, with no loss, through the lock area, including a crack in the barrel tang at the screw. Although the gun is still very sound, the crack could be readily repaired and made virtually imperceptible. There is no cleaning rod. Readily restorable into an exceptionally nice example of this relatively scarce "trapdoor."Auction Info
