I have an 1873 rifle in the 46,000 serial range. The breach is marked MASS, I assume for the Massachusetts National Guard. Thinking of selling the rifle. Does the marking add a little value to the rifle as opposed to one that is not marked? Thanks.

One thinks of the Springfield Single shot rifles and carbines as arms of the wild west. Thus like cadet rifles state marked guns bring a lower values on the market. Hope this helps.
