SPENCER MODEL 1860 CARBINE

#58464. Cal.52 rimfire (56-56). Standard 22" round barrel with original 6 grooves. Barrel retains the original folding rear sight graduated to 800 yards. Top flat on the receiver, forward of the hammer, is stamped with “SPENCER REPEATING / RIFLE CO. BOSTON MASS / PAT’S MARCH 6, 1860” in three lines, only partly visible but present and correct. Frame and barrel have the same serial number. There are two military cartouches on the buttstock; M.M.J. (Martin M. Johnson, inspector active during the Civil War) and D.A.P. (Dwight A. Perkins, inspector for Spencer Model 1860 Carbines). The loading tube is the version for the model 1860 that was made without the ribs on the cap. All of the metal parts have a pleasing brownish gray smooth tone. The action of the gun works perfecty and has an excellent bore!
