I just acquired a Springfield 1884 Trapdoor and I'm needing some help determining what I have and what the approximate value might be. Any help would be most appreciated. It is marked U.S. Model 1884, but the serial number seems to be from a later production that a 1884. The serial number, which is very clearly marked is 532447. This particular model has the round round bayonet that fits back inside of a groove in the stock and seems to have the proper cartouches on the barrel and the stock. The barrel is clean and the rifling is in good shape. The stock is also in nice shape. A clean gun overall.
