I am trying to learn what I can about my Dad's old Spencer Repeating Rifle, serial number 23,029.
He acquired it in 1958 while teaching at a First Nations school in Fond du Lac, Saskatchewan, Canada.
This is a remote, northern community.
The anecdotal story from the priests at the school was that the gun had crossed the Cda/US border with Sitting Bull after the Little Big Horn and was eventually traded north.
My Dad passed away a number of years ago and I never had the chance to speak with him about that.
Any information on the rifle would be greatly appreciated.
