I think Lucretia Borgia was a .50-70 trapdoor. What I have read was that the .50-70 trapdoors (along with ammunition for them) were essentially given by the Army (they were obsolete by then) to anyone who wanted to hunt buffalo as part of the Army's Indian eradication program. No buffalo = no food, no hides for tipis, etc.
