I have had this US Springfield Trapdoor since I was a younger man, (64 now). I bought it from an older neighbor who was in his 80s. I need to know what model Trapdoor it is.

Metal Markings:

US on top of Butt Plate

Serial number on receiver behind trapdoor is 45815

Both barrel Bands have a U

There is no Bayonet Lug

The Lock Plate does not have a date but has US Springfield with an Eagle

Stock Markings:

There is a circle behind the trigger guard with scowling in it

Behind the receiver tang is a large 39 stamped into it

The action is very tight. Hammer and trigger work Great.

Is this a converted Civil War Rifle.

What is the value of this rifle?

Sorry for the bad pics. I took the in the basement and I will be putting up better pictures in the very near future.
