Hello, new to Modern Muzzleloader forum, not new to Muzzleloader forum.
I do mostly flintlock and some Percussion.
Sorry if I am posting to wrong thread as I am not familiar with this site.
I was sent over here from over there as this piece is a breech loader:
This not mine but a friend's.
He just had a bunch of firearms handed down through the family but no information on any of them.
This Springfield caught his eye and is trying to find out if it is original or a reproduction?
I am out of state right now (father having heart surgery Wednesday) so he sent these photos asking what I can find out.
The lock appears to have a stamp "1875" or "1845" that makes us wonder; were they stamped with the year back then? (Called today, he 'thinks' it says 1845).
He can get more pics if needed but he only uses a phone.
