Acquired this last week. Klancher certified it & commented very nice condition. It has a nice visible cartouche. One of the 2nd variation shipments with the stocks(Good quality), large shank, & Spanish Meter rear sight.
Nice piece Rick, Congrats on a great acquisition!
I would believe that one did not spend a lot of time in the field……..

Thanks Mike and I might add the bore has generous rifling & in good condition.
Nice piece of collectable U.S. and Canadian history. do You have ammo

I have just one Dominion NWMP 1900 (00 head stamp) ammunition contract .45-75 cartridge if interested?
Beautiful example and very nice wood on buttstock. The NWMP ’76 is what I might call the ‘holy grail’ for me but, I have not yet found one.

I agree Kirk. It took me 3yrs to find the right one(not that there were any to choose from) but I knew this example was what I wanted & was looking for. Price is always a consideration as these don’t come cheap at $8k($10k canadian) & higher, but the scarcity & historical significance is worth every penny to me, not to mention… it’s configuration and a 76.

A few years ago I sold this one, serial 44389. It was shipped April 8, 1885. Beautiful NWMP banner and DC in a diamond with W.T.D. 4 stamped on the off side of the buttstock. Don Klancher had not seen the DC marking on a carbine this late and he wasn’t sure what the W.T.D. 4 stood for. His thought was maybe Winnipeg Territorial Division. This carbine was last listed on duty at FT. Saskatchewan on June 1, 1894. It was a great high condition carbine with perfect bore. Sold it to Jim Autry and have not seen it since.
