Still has a case in the chamber.

I suppose we can skip the conversation about whether or not this specimen has been refinished. I like relics like this one, it lets the imagination wander around a bit trying to explain how it came to be where it was in this condition.

Quick! You better notify the ATF the barrel is shorter than 16 inches.

That makes me wonder if this came from a gunsmith’s scrap pile after all the useful parts were scavenged to repair other 1873’s.

If said gunsmith were on the Titanic, then yes!
The gun was not a complete gun when it was buried, Barrel cut off and the internals removed. It was a 44.
