Spencer Serial Number 50950

[glorietapass]

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.

First the pictures: You can see the shape and size of the M1860 with S/N 50950.
Great to have info still archived, glorietapass.
