The barrel is marked with the "V/P/Eagle Head/P" proofs on the left side at the breech and an "I" on the top. The breechblock is marked "US/MODEL/1884", the lock plate is marked with the large American eagle next to the "US/SPRINGFIELD", and the top of the smooth buttplate, trap, is marked with "US". The rifle has an "R" marked Buffington rear sight adjustable for both windage and elevation. The full length stock has the boxed "SWP/1890" cartouche on the left wrist and a single circled script "P" proof just to the rear of the trigger guard. With original black leather sling and "US" marked Model 73 socket bayonet.

Fine. The rifle retains approximately 50% of the original blue finish with a balance of smooth brown patina. There is smooth gray patina near the muzzle, on the buttplate and on the barrel bands. The breechblock and upper tang retain approximately 80% of the faded case color. The stock is good with some moderate dents and handling wear. The forearm exhibits a couple of mild cracks. The stock cartouche is legible. The rest of the markings are clear and crisp. The sling is very good. The bayonet is very good, retaining approximately 85% of the blue finish mixed with smooth dark patina and some light surface rust. The marking is clear.
