I have come across an 1873 and I am looking for some more info. The Trapdoor is stamped "US MODEL 1873" but the serial number on the reciever block is 479XXX. When I looked up on-line the mfg. date for that number it came back as 1890. That seems to be in contradiction to the Blue Book of gun values which says the 1873 was made between 1873 and 1877. Does this make any sense? Any info would be much appreciated. TIA.
