Blade front and "C" marked ski-ramp rear sights, with "C/V/P/eagle head" on the left side of the breech, "MODEL/1873/eagle head/U.S" on the low arch breechblock, and "U.S./SPRINGFIELD" on the lock plate with the Springfield Eagle motif ahead of the 3-click tumbler equipped hammer. Smooth short wrist stock, with a "SWP/1887" cartouche behind the saddle ring bar, circled and serifed "P" behind the trigger guard, and a "US" marked buttplate with storage compartment. With a Model 1873 trowel bayonet, 15 3/4 inches overall with the included grip plug, 10 inch blade, blue socket, and a brass tipped brown leather sheath with a brass "US" badge on the Watervliet Arsenal marked belt loop. With a reproduction U.S. trapdoor rifle/carbine manual.

Fine as Arsenal refurbished, with 70% of the Arsenal blue finish, showing areas of brown patina, some patches of pitting on the barrel, and scattered spotting and handling marks. Bright, vivid color is present on the protected areas of the breechblock, especially the underside. Stock is good as revarnished, with some chipping around the edges of the forearm and the upper tang, dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent. The bayonet is very good, with some mild spotting, a few dings on the grip plug, and scuffing and cracks on the sheath.
