The 45 Government caliber (45-70) U.S. Model 1888 ramrod bayonet ttapdoor rifle was the last of the trapdoor rifle models prior to the adoption of the Krag rifle.

The right side of the butt has 45-70 carved in it. The swivels and front sight cover are present. It is equipped with a Model 1907 sling. The action functions correctly. This is a nice representative Model 1888.
