Low arch breech block marked "U.S/MODEL/1884". The lock plate is marked with the American eagle next to "U.S./SPRINGFIELD". The oil finished walnut stock is stamped with the boxed script "SWP/1887" final inspection cartouche of Samuel W. Porter on the left wrist. Blade front and Buffington ladder rear sight, two-piece trigger guard and trigger bar assembly, serrated trigger, iron cleaning rod, and smooth buttplate marked "US" on the heel.

Excellent, retains 95% plus original blue finish with some light wear marks around the muzzle, some smooth brown patina on the rear barrel band, a few patches of light freckling, and 97% plus vivid original case colors on the breech block and barrel tang. The stock is very fine with sharp defined edges and attractive grains, numerous scattered light pressure dents and scratches, and an exceptionally crisp cartouche. Mechanically excellent. This exceptional example of a U.S. Springfield Model 1884 Trapdoor rifle would proudly fill a necessary hole in any U.S. military firearms collection!
