My wife bought me this Spencer at my local gun shop in Horseheads, NY. Can any of you help identify it?
It is serial number 57576. The original manufacturer's markings on the top of the receiver are all worn away except for one clear letter 'S'. There is quite a bit of wear on the stock behind the saddle ring. It has the Stabler cut-off and the action works though the magazine is seized in the stock.
There is a faint cartouche behind the saddle ring that looks like it could be "ESA" (Erskine S. Allin) except the border looks a little more rectangular than oval. It is very faint and hard to make out even with a magnifying glass.
Hope you all can help.
Thanks!
Jeff
