10/26/22 – This is a nice example of a Springfield Model 1884 “Trapdoor” Rifle, manufactured in 1892. The model 1884 traces its roots back to the design of the Springfield 1873. The model 1884 incorporated a significant number of improvements that had been made between 1878 and 1879. It also featured a serrated trigger that had been incorporated into the Springfield rifle design in 1883. This one has a rare experimental rod bayonet where the cleaning rod also serves as a bayonet. This one is not one of the original 2,000 made because it is not in the correct serial range, ~320000. So it was part of the later run. Overall, the gun is in nice condition. The original finish is mostly worn away with light brown patina throughout. Spotty oxidation around the breech. Most of the case-hardening on the receiver has worn away, but it is still partially visible inside the breech. There is a series of small dings on the butt plate. The stock has a crisp 1892-dated military cartouche on the left side. There is an “89 SEP. CO” marking on the left side of the butt stock and what looks like a rack number on the right side. There is no major damage to the wood, but there are tiny dings and handling marks here and there. A couple of more noticeable gouges around the butt plate. There is an added metal grip fixed to the underside of the stock. The bore is near-mint.
