Overall length is approximately 48.5”. The 32.5” long round barrel is bright with a few scattered small dings. Stamped “P” on left side at the breech. At the muzzle there is a blade sight on top and a key for a saber bayonet underneath. A long-range, flip-up sight is mounted at the breech. The bore remains clean and bright with good rifling.

The receiver is also bright with scattered light surface pitting. The right side is stamped with an eagle over “USN / Springfield / 1870”. The mechanics of the rifle work perfectly. The Remington patent information is clearly stamped on the receiver tang. Butt plate is stamped “US” and the two barrel bands are stamped “U”. Sling swivels are in place and the cleaning rod/ramrod is complete with threaded end.

The wood is very good with a few of the usual small dents and dings. A faint oval cartouche remains on the left side behind the receiver.

A nice, clean rolling block rifle.  [jet] [ph:L]
