But what cal is it ? Would be really cool if it were a first year production .32WCF (aka .32-20) .
Yes , '73s were in common use for hunting/ utility rifles well into the 20th cen.

I read another update on it. It's a 44-40 and was unloaded. The pic in the article shows the stock embedded in the ground and the front half of the barrel deep into a crook in the tree. The rifle was spotted in November by a park service person and an archeologist carefully extracted it out.

Dude went down to the crick to take a morning whiz, slipped on a rock, and a bar got him.
That's the story and I'm stick'in with it.

Very, very cool
Better pic than the one that I was referring to.
Even if aged, the lines and contours of an 1873 receiver and lever are beautiful.
