Just learned that I won this M. 1860 Spencer carbine, which from the descriptions is still in original condition and caliber, not sleeved or altered, and does not have a Stabler cutoff. It is clearly a well-used gun, with visible wear marks and faint cartouches. Overall Condition is "Good", with even some remnant bluing and case hardening in protected areas. Best of all, while not an identified number, its serial number is within the known documented range for the Spencer carbines issued to my ancestor's regiment (Third Iowa Cavalry) in Louisville in January 1865, two months before they embarked on Wilson's final campaign. I've been looking for over a year for one in that range. I'm very excited. Here are the auction photos:
