Springfield Mdl 1878 SN: 318902
Trapdoor. Not marked for caliber. 32-5/8" barrel with a good bore and visible rifling. All metal is blued steel. Buttplate is marked "US" and the barrel bands are marked with a "U". Rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation. The front sight is hooded. Ramrod is present showing some bluing loss as is most of the metal. The buttplate has a rough and rusty appearance. There are a few patches of surface rust on the barrel and the breechblock with discoloration and fading to the rest of the steel. The wood has shrunk a little below the adjacent steel surfaces in places but is otherwise in good condition. Condition is good-very good for antique.
