Stamped Spencer Repeating Rifle Company, Boston. I have owned this rifle since the very late 50's, purchased from a friends grandfather in San Antonio for $67. I can remember him telling me he owned it since he was in his 20's (I being only 16 and an over the top Texas History military buff at the time..I had 2 nickel Colt 1873's ordered by mail for $26 each 1880s made, delivered to our home, parents unknowing until after received them). My friends grandfather was very old and in a wheel chair, but at my young age, anyone over 40 was ancient. I was too stupid to ask the Spencers history at the time, but he did tell me the gun had originally been a horseback Indian wars cavalry rifle which got me excited..the stock shows evidence of that. NOTE: When I Got home, I found the chamber empty, but 3 very old rim fire cartridges in the loading tube!!! Still have them in pill tubes! Long story short, I took very good care of my firearms over the years, sold the nickel Colts for $500 each back in the 90's, again stupid me, I think they are worth 4 times that. My Spencer never had any rust, very good bore, smooth tight action, screws are not buggered up, just saddle scabbard horseback wear on the stock...no cracks, splits or any other problems. Real reason for posting, my children and grandchildren have no interest. Sad for me. Several years ago, Mr. McBride of McBride Guns (very old dealership) in Austin said he had several Texas military collectors that have interest so if I decided to sell, he would buy it. Bottom line, over the next several months I will decide to sell or not. I have many photos if requested.
