The things that happened after the panic of 1873 were the downfall of the Jay Cooke and Company in September 1973, and the Coinage act of 1873. Another thing that happened was the Great Railroad Strike in 1877.
If "1973" is the date the rifle was produced it couldn't have been used in the civil war because the civil war was in the 1860's.I think you mean "1873" the Trapdoor was used in the Indian wars and the Spanish American War. During WW1 it was used for training and Stateside guard duty.
The Coinage Act of 1873 stopped the minting of silver coins.
The model 1873 Colt Army .45 revolver was about $17.00.
