Just bought Excellent Cadet SRS check please

[m1ashot]

I'm a collector that has developed an eye for un molested rifles. This looks above great. Stock tiny dings all cartouces plus small inspector marks perfect. I may be to good to be true. Serial 110034 cartouche 1879. Has a 35 on top of stock in front of buttplate tang. Does not appear sanded. Bore perfect. Bore bright, bluing 95%.

I'll work on pictures

You may have something there - 1879 cartouches are quite uncommon, and, would be correct at that serial number, though I do not (off the top of my head) recall any cadets in that range.

Definitely need good clear pictures.

Can someone post pics for me. Even though I'm good at computers. I spent a lotta time trying to post on this forum with little success thanks

M on trigger guard, u on ferrules. US on butt plate tang

I was wrong about serial range - a cadet is possible with that number.

No one seems to know much about 1879 cartouches - they occur both as ESA/1879 in a large oval and (following Allin's sudden death) SWP/1879 in the clipped-corner rectangle, which yours has.

The hammer may have been replaced, as that style was not officially adopted until 1880.

Closest SRS hits would be 110028 and 110037 and both are rifles closest cadet listed is 110224. Hope this helps.

Referring to hammer I thought my serial # shows rifle built 1880. Is that correct?
