BidProwl Summary
Springfield Model 1884 Trapdoor rifle in .45-70, serial 474997, made early 1890 with excellent bore and strong rifling, though blued finish shows muzzle wear, scattered light surface rust on barrel and lock plate with some thinning. Collectors and historical firearms enthusiasts buy these for display and documentation, while some resellers target parts or restoration projects. Verify the action cycles smoothly, inspect rust progression on metal surfaces, confirm the SWP 1889 cartouche authenticity, and check stock for structural cracks beneath the finish wear before bidding.
