Description:

Blade front sight, with the rear sight base moved from the barrel to the tang, "V/ P/ eagle head" on the left flat and "1855" on the tang. Lock plate is marked "U.S./ SPRINGFIELD" at the front, American eagle on the Maynard primer door, and "1855" at the rear. Smooth pistol grip stock, with a swiveling ramrod, faint cartouche on the left, "A" scratched into the underside ahead of the guard, brass furniture and iron backstrap with stock slots.

Rating Definition:

Good, with a mixed gray and brown patina overall. The cleanout screw and rear sight leaves are absent, with damage to the sight base, and pitting is visible on and around the bolster. Stock is also good, with a few chips, scattered pressure dents and scratches, and a few cracks. Mechanically fine, with both the action and primer in working order.
