Manufactured in 1889. Equipped with a "C" marked Buffington rear sight and a 3-click tumbler. The barrel has the "V/P/eagle head/P" proofs on the upper left, the breechblock is marked "U.S./MODEL/1884" and the lock plate is marked with an American Eagle followed by "US/SPRINGFIELD." Mounted on a carbine stock with a saddle bar with ring on the left side near a script "SWP/1889" cartouche. The stock is stamped "GA," which the consignor notes is for the 3rd Georgia Volunteer Infantry, near the "US" marked buttplate tang.

Very good. The rifle retains traces of original blue finish with a mottled brown-gray patina on the balance. Blade sight is a replacement. The breechblock and tang retain traces of original case colors. The stock is very good with loss of wood around the upper tang and extensive scattered minor pressure dents. The cartouche is clear.
