U.S. Model 1890 Trapdoor Carbine, by Springfield, #187211*, .45-70 cal., 22'' barrel, blue finish, walnut stock. Breechblock dated 1873. Although no Carbines were mfg'd after 1889 and the Model 1890 is purely a collector's term, these Carbines feature specific government alterations with a special protected barrel band. The band has a high hump which acts as a buffer to the sight when it is slipped into a Carbine boot. The front sight of this Carbine features no modification. Condition is very good overall showing approx. 40% original blue to barrel which is thinning and toning, darkening to case hardened surfaces, losses at both sides of upper tang. Stock with some darkening and scuffs and somewhat visible 1882 cartouche. Action functions well, bore is near fine. Est.: $750-$1,000.
