Spencer Serial Number 50950

Hey there, new to the page, but digging it!  So much info - too cool. Wondering if anyone can fill me in on any info about a M1860 with the S/N 50950.  Not getting much help for a guide anywhere, but seeing there's mad knowledge on this site.  Thanks in advance!

From Two Flints...."Very good chance your Spencer Carbine, serial # 50950, was issued to Company E, 7th Indiana Volunteer Cavalry on November 12, 1865." Grateful for the info, and this forum.  I don't have it in hands yet, but will post photos when I do. 

Meantime, while I'm here and we're talking Spencers.... a friend got me this Spencer Bullet (not put together) from Sailors Creek.  I can't help but conjure up such images of where and what regiment/division this bullet was from?  Sheridan, Custer, Merritt....Was it dropped in action, trying to reload that magazine...?  Too cool! 

Appreciate this fine forum and the Spencer Shooting Society.
