CIVIL WAR CAVALRY Antique SPENCER Repeating Carbine
One of the Best Weapons of The Civil War!
Here we present an antique Spencer Repeating Rifle Co. Army Model Carbine, made circa 1863-1865 in Boston, Massachusetts, during the Civil War. These lever-operated, breech-loading rifles were marvels of the time and had a lasting impact on how war was to be fought in the future. Though their service life in the U.S. military was relatively short, the Spencer story includes Christopher Spencer, the inventor of the rifle, demonstrating and shooting with President Abraham Lincoln, who gave his full endorsement of the piece. Supposedly, during the battle at Gettysburg, a captured Rebel that day said one could “load in the morning and fire all day!” This was due to the Spencer’s most endearing quality: a 7-round magazine tube in the butt of the gun. This gave the shooter phenomenal firepower in a day when most soldiers were muzzle-loading single shots or even singly loading their breech-loading carbines. This is one of the iconic carbines of the Civil War and Western Frontier.
The overall condition is very good. The iron parts have a gray-brown patina. The markings are clear. The stock is smooth and solid. There is a minor and stable climate related split on the back-left side of the butt stock. The bore is in great shape, bright with sharp rifling. The action is excellent. This one has been there and done that and has survived to tell the tale! Here is an honest old gun that would look stunning on display.
