1860 Model Spencer Repeating Carbine
.56 Rimfire Seven-Shot Repeater   

Confederate Captured & Collected 

An exceptional Civil War-era Spencer Repeating Carbine, chambered in .56 Rimfire and retaining its highly desirable Confederate capture and collection marking. The serial number 36687, stamped on the top of the frame behind the hammer, indicates this carbine was originally issued to Pennsylvania cavalry forces before later falling into Confederate hands.

The metal surfaces display an attractive dark silver-gray to bright gray appearance with only light, scattered peppering. The top of the receiver is marked:
SPENCER REPEATING RIFLE CO.
BOSTON, MASS.

The remaining patent markings have become worn and are no longer fully legible. The trigger guard lever bears an “M” inspection mark on the right side.

Most notably, the underside of the stock immediately behind the trigger guard is boldly stamped with the Confederate Richmond Arsenal captured and collected “Z” mark, documenting Confederate capture and reissue. Firearms bearing this marking are among the most sought-after Civil War long arms, representing weapons that saw service on both sides of the conflict.

The rear sight, sling swivel, and saddle ring assembly remain intact. The magazine tube, action, and feeding system function properly, and the carbine remains in excellent mechanical condition. The walnut buttstock and forearm are exceptionally well preserved, displaying an attractive rich auburn-brown color with only minor handling wear. Two rectangular inspector’s cartouches remain visible on the left side of the buttstock behind the saddle bar.

The bore is outstanding, retaining strong, crisp rifling throughout with no significant pitting. Overall, this is a particularly fine example of one of the most important cavalry arms of the Civil War. Its documented Pennsylvania cavalry issue, Confederate capture history, Richmond Arsenal “Z” marking, excellent mechanics, and strong overall condition make it an especially desirable collector’s piece.
