I recently picked up an original 1860 spencer in very good condition. I'm curious if anyone may have some information on its history. The serial number is 29589. Thanks

What did they do, throw them in a pile at the factory and then crate them? Ha Ha. Thanks for the information, at least I know it was produced during the war, and most likely saw some sort of service. Thanks again,Jeff Dunwoody
