Hello, this item is a Springfield Model 1873 “Trapdoor” rifle with bayonet, produced by Springfield Armory in the late 19th century. This model was the first standard-issue breech-loading rifle adopted by the US military following the Civil War, chambered in .45-70 Government. The “trapdoor” mechanism refers to the hinged breechblock design, which opened upward to load a single cartridge. The inclusion of the bayonet and leather sling, both visible in the images, is a plus for collectors, as many surviving examples lack these original accessories. The wood stock appears intact with normal wear, and the metal components show patina typical of age.

These rifles were widely issued between 1873 and the 1890s, making provenance, condition, and matching serial numbers critical in determining value. If functional and with all original parts, including the correct bayonet and inspector markings, the fair market value typically ranges from 1,200 to 1,800 USD.
