Springfield Trapdoor Information

[Dick Hosmer]

Ooops - you know, it was late at night, and I admit to not looking at the additional pictures, not thinking they would make a difference. Actually, they don't change my answer, other than to add that the rifle is in well above average condition.

Just to confirm. The serial number is 320086.

Thanks for all the help.

I was cleaning the rifle and for the first time noted at the base of the trapdoor lid was a stamped:
"US
Model
1879"

Quotation marks mine.

What does this mean?

US Model 1878
