Good condition…based on the serial number the rifle is believed to have been at the Battle of Little Big Horn at Custards Last Stand. I am looking to get it appraised and authenticated based on the serial number. U.S. SPRINGFIELD/US MODEL 1880/88745
Standard musket rifle
Dear Candace,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
So that I may best assist you, can you please upload a few better and more focused images of probable hallmarks and stamps on the ricasso of the blade? These stamps are important for the estimation of a weapon. Thank you very much.
With kind regards,
Gregory
