This used Spanish-pattern rolling block rifle was made in the 1880s, according to the listing, and measures about 51.5 inches overall. The round barrel is about 37 inches long and chambered in 43 Spanish caliber, with a good bore and bright rifling, with erosion toward the chamber. The action functions properly. The front sight blade is missing, and the rear sight is a US Model 1884 trapdoor sight.

This piece suits a collector of military long guns who values an inscribed, battle-used rifle. The listing describes a concave breechblock, an external firing pin retractor and a crude repair to the wrist, and it notes the ramrod is absent while two sling swivels are present. The receiver engraving reads Spanish R Built over Cprd. by Lieut. Trumbo over 12 Cav U.S.A., and the listing says the meaning of the 1835 engraving is unclear.
