My SIL has an 1863 .52 caliber Spencer Carbine that has been in his family since it was issued to his relative in the 1860's
We cant seem to find any numbers or marks annotating where and when it may have been made...
If anyone has any info or a line on where we/he can find out more about this beautiful rifle it would be greatly appreciated...
