One of 11,533 manufactured by Springfield Armory from 1870-1873, with most of the production being rifles rather than carbines. This example shows standard markings and features with "1870" dated breech block, "1863" dated lock plate, and two faint cartouches on the left flat. Includes a "US" marked socket bayonet. Removable collection mark on the trigger guard.

Fine, showing mostly a bright finish with the breech block and lock a smooth mottled grey patina. The lightly sanded and reoiled wood is good with a few minor handling marks and faint cartouches. Mechanically excellent. The bayonet is very good showing mostly a grey patina.
