MODEL 1855 MAINSPRING VISE – LIKE NEW – STAMPED
“US”: In excellent condition, as pictured on
page 246 of Gun Tools, Their History and
Identification, Shaffer, Rutledge, and Dorsey, this
Model 1855 Mainspring Vise still retains all of the
original arsenal blue, showing no wear or corrosion and
a bright clean surface finish. Plainly stamped “US” on
the top jaw, this is a primary appendage for most of the
US shoulder arms manufactured at the National Armory at
Springfield from 1855 through the 1873 Trapdoor models.
