The 1863 dated lock plate has the standard "eagle/shield" and "U.S./SPRINGFIELD" markings with the breech block dated 1869 with the eagle head/cross arrows over "US". Matching number on barrel and receiver. Blade front sight/bayonet lug and ladder rear sight, with sling swivels, two barrel bands, two script letter cartouches on the left stock flat, leather sling, iron ramrod, and "US" marked socket bayonet. Buttplate tang is marked "U /F (double stamped)/15".

Very fine. The breech block assembly and lock retains 40% of the crisp original dark oil quenched black casehardening. The fine Arsenal bright components are all slightly dull, but untouched.The stock is very fine with a couple of noticable gouges, some scattered minor handling marks overall. Mechanically excellent.
