Title: Spencer Rifle # 4634
Post by: 38OVI on December 16, 2024, 09:03:42 AM
I picked up a Spencer Rifle at auction this past weekend.  I have pictures from the auction catalog, but don't know how to post them.  Any information available? Thank you.

Hi 380VI,

Checked on your Spencer Rifle serial # 4634 - very good chance it was issued to Company E,72nd Indiana Volunteer Infantry in April 1863.  Closest match I found listed is another Spencer Rifle with serial # 4636.

Hope this helps.

If you like PM your email address, I'll respond with mine where you can send the photo.
I will in turn post them here for you.

If you don't work out the sizing issues

That thread was eat up with AI, I have deleted my post.
