The U.S. Springfield 1873 Trapdoor is a used single-shot rifle chambered in .45-70 Government, with a 32.5-inch round barrel. The supplier dates it to early 1873 from Springfield Armory. The metal has a brown, streaky patina, and the factory markings are listed as defaced. The initials O.D.T. are pin-pricked behind the trigger guard, and the action is functional.

For a Florida buyer, this is an antique long gun for collectors and display. The stock has several impressions and scratches along the buttstock, and no cartouche is visible. Buyers should weigh the patina and defaced markings against the photos, because the listing shows wear throughout. Florida long-gun buyers must be 21 or older, and a hunter safety card can waive the waiting period.
