Hello all,
I just obtained a trapdoor springfield rifle model 1884. It has a SWP cartouche with a 1886 date, 1884 breachblock, buffingtin rear sight and the P proofmark on the wrist behind the triggerguard. On top of the comb of the buttstock is the number "1" with a VA stamped underneath, and lower on the stock right above the buttplate is a letter "E" with 162 stamped underneath. The serial number is 365257. Can someone look this up and see if they can give me some info on it? I would be truly greatful.
Thank you
