Hello everyone
New to this forum and my first post.
I have two Spencer's, a rifle and a carbine. Looking for any information about when they were manufactured and/or may have been issued. I see in old threads that serial number information is limited but also see that there may be some resources that I don't have that may shed some light on these. I have a copy of Marcot's book so do know something about their origin but no specifics.
The rifle is an 1860 Army, serial number 5040
The carbine is an 1860 Carbine, serial number 24281.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
