It's an 1888 Trapdoor. Stock cartouche of 1890. This one was issued to the NY 12th Volunteer Infantry during the Span Am war. May have made it to Cuba. Sling is a repro

Nice looking Trapdoor, Philly.

Have you read how to get your milsurp in the Library? (http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=22)

Great looking TD! :)

I would suggest taking alot more pics of it, especially any markings and proofs on the metal everywhere. A typical gallery has usually 20 or more pics in it to be considered really complete in my opinion. The rifle looks like a great candidate too :)

My most recent writeup is for the Finnish M24 gallery. Perhaps have a quick look at it to get an idea of the format. I'd be happy to help you out if needed, just drop me an e-mail or PM!
