I have been looking for many years for an 1860 model Spencer Carbine. What I wanted: 1860 model not converted, nice looking with all parts working, and a gun I could afford. Finally found what I wanted at a very small gun shop in northern Vermont. My wife and I were vacationing in Woodstock, VT. Did some homework and made some calls. The shop was about a two-hour drive. Well worth it. The owner was a retired One Star General. He was a wealth of information and had some very interesting items.
The serial number is 38952. I do believe this number would put it in the war period. Found two marks of “M” one on the trigger the other on the guard. Am I correct in assuming they are inspector marks. The stock has 13 small dots carved into the wood. I wonder? Can anyone give me assistance on the serial #numb
wonder?
