Spencer Model 1865, .50 cal. repeating carbine in relic condition, showing Indian tacks, serial #21109. The metal surfaces are heavily rusted, the lever is broken, the stocks are weathered and aged from exposureto the elements; the right butt stock shows old original to-the-period brass tacks laid in Indian designs. These Spencers were some of the earliest cartridge guns in the west and a few cases were found at major Indianbattle sites in Montana and Wyoming. It was the Indian practice to bury guns, and also bury them with warriors. A completely uncleaned, as found, western relic with a great look. Est.: $1,250-$2,500
