SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1875 OFFICERS MODEL PARTS RIFLE.

SPRINGFIELD MODEL 1875 OFFICERS MODEL PARTS RIFLE. SN 240560. Cal. 45-70. Beautiful orig, late, Springfield Officer’s Model stock with “SWP / 1881” cartouche on left side and a crisp “P” below checkering on the wrist. It has an orig 1875 buttplate with “US” on the tang and light pattern of orig engraving. It also has batch number “45” just forward of buttplate tang. Forestock & wrist have original checkering with an attached original checkered grip. Top of wrist is mounted with an orig oval base Springfield tang sight. Forestock has a decorative silver plated pewter tip with light engraving. Trigger guard, trigger, bbl, receiver, bbl band & hammer are 1873 rifle parts that were not originally for an officer’s model. Bbl has an orig Beech’s combination front sight and an 1873 ski jump rifle rear sight graduated “1 to 5” on left side with an “R” at front left edge. Breech block is from a correct Officer’s Model with light foliate arabesque patterns marked near the hinge “U.S. / MODEL / 1873”. The thumb latch is engraved to match. Lockplate appears to be from an orig Officer’s Model with an eagle in front of the hammer and marked “U.S. / SPRINGFIELD / 1873” in the center with nice coverage of shaded foliate arabesque patterns. Hammer is not engraved, however hammer screw is lightly engraved. This appears to be a work in progress by someone who found some authentic Officer’s Model parts and was attempting to make a rifle. CONDITION: Fine. Bbl retains 80% thin orig blue. Breech block, lockplate & hammer are silvered case colors, as is the buttplate. Pewter inlay in the forestock retains most of its orig silver plate. Stock is sound with minor nicks & scratches and retains most of its orig hand rubbed oil finish. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore. 4-36323 JR317 (4,000-7,000)
