I have an M1865 Spencer Carbine, 56-50 sn# 773. There is no limiter or sleeve. My wife's GGF was a gun smith in Colorado. He traded for this gun for other work performed. He was a homesteader in the San Louis Valley. Is it possible to track the serial number to an individual? Thanks, Craig
 
Welcome to the forums and congratulations on your find! There are gun collectors and scholars here who should be able to answer your questions.
 
Are there any other markings on it? Initials or a "Col. Ter" (Colorado Territory) stamp by any chance?
