The casehardened low arch breechblock is marked "U.S. / MODEL / 1873". The barrel has the "V P eagle head P" on the left side. It has the correct carbine stock with single barrel band, "eagle/shield" motif and "U.S. / SPRINGFIELD" marked lock plate, "US" marked buttplate, circled "P" stamped behind the trigger guard, and a boxed "SWP / 1880" cartouche on the wrist (left side).

Rating Definition:

Partially refinished. The carbine retains traces of the blue finish with the balance an artificial brown patina. The breechblock retains 60% of the case colors. There is some minor pitting overall. The stock is very good with some minor dings and scratches. The stock cartouche is clear. Mechanically fine.
