This Springfield Model 1873 fell victim to an incredible fire in a museum that I work for. The museum director brought this to me with that 'look" in his eyes of distress. It had belonged to a prominent important local citizen. All he could say was ummmm? Can you?
Here are the before and after pictures as presented it to the director and board members before I revealed it.... one tough preservation!!! I could NOT save the original stock (go figure) but managed to find an absolutely correct replacement vintage stock with correct inspection cartouche.... all for free!
