Indian Wars era and Custer period arms, this early 1873 Trapdoor Carbine will almost certainly be the center piece in your collection. Obviously for whatever reason this carbine was never used and stored properly over the last 141 years. The bore as you can imagine remains in mint condition. The finish on this carbine still remains factory bright blued in color, the early breach block remains its early blackened finish, and the wood has never been sanded. The early long wrist stock is not drilled in back for the cleaning rods and is cartouched on the side ESA, and also bares its firing proof P in back of the triggerguard.

Although it didn't see as much action as some more.
