Springfield Model 1884

I am looking into a US Springfield model 1884 with a serial#Z71038. Does anyone know when this was produced?

If that first character is a 2, not a Z, I would say in the first couple months of 1885. There should be no letters in the serial number. Just digits.

I will take a closer look. Thanks.
