The Serial Number is 353104 and readily visible. The top of the receiver trap door
is stamped US Model 1878.
There is a U on both Barrel Bands.. And the top of the Butt Plate is Marked: U.S

steel near receiver - also the letter A ontop of the barrel.
.
The entire rifle overall looks original to 1878. There are initials on the left side of the stock
- see photo.
A great collector piece....n 1873 the caliber of the “Trapdoor†rifle was again
reduced, this time to .45. Since it was not practical to convert .58 caliber muskets
to this small size, Springfield Armory began new construction of the “Trapdoor†rifles.
They remained in production, with modifications, until 1893. This was the weapon,
both rifle and carbine, that served the U.S. Army so well during the Indian Wars on
the Western Frontier and in the Spanish-American War. In twenty years of production
almost half of a million .45-70 caliber weapons were manufactured at Springfield.
