Spencer Photos from Buffalo Bill Historical Museum

[Two Flints]

Hello SSS, 

I received the following photos and text from Bead Swinger via Email.  Some great examples of Spencers on display at the Buffalo Bill Historical Museum.  Thanks,  Bead Swinger   Two Flints

Hi Two Flints:

This is the display that inspired me to pull out my beading equipment - (Long story - I learned to bead when I was a kid) If I find the money to buy some Elk or Moose or some other cool hide, I'm going to make a copy of this killer Spencer Case. 




I think this a comparison of the 1860 and 1865 variants.


This is a great display. The top is one of the 1000 Navy Rifles - and it is in beautiful condition. The bottom ones are civilian versions - including a small-frame version.




This is one on their case full of Spencer Shotguns.

   Greetings!

   If You Fellows want an Honest-To-God firearms education, get over to the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody! A couple of years ago, Dad & I made the pilgrimage, and spent eight hours in the Firearms wing! The Native American wing was fairly good; the rest was worth it.

   Be Well!

I have a pard who was freinds with the prior curator of the Cody Museum firearms collection.  In fact, he had been offered the assistant curator job.  A few years ago hey got as new, politically correct museum director, and he or she wanted to de-emphasize the firearms part and maybe even sell the collection.  Fortunately cooler heads prevailed.
