Hi,
I have just joined this group and have spent the past 3 hours reading through the posts and website. Fascinating!
I wonder if you can please point me in the direction to learn more about my father's Spencer 1865 Carbine SN 22350 - its history? There must be a place to find out if this serial number was a military dispatched gun and if so, where.
My father was an avid collector and curator of many historical firearms in his private collection (Burnside 3rd Model Carbine, Springfield Trap door etc.). I grew up looking at his collection on display. I loved hearing about the importance and progression in design of various arms including the Spencer.
Thank you.
