EARLY SPENCER MODEL 1860 THREE BAND BREECHLOADING CIVIL WAR RIFLE

30″ barrel, .52-56 rimfire caliber, lever action breechloading design with external hammer and the 7 shot magazine located in the buttstock.   In superb original condition with the barrel retaining nearly all of the blue. Strong casehardened finish remaining on the barrel bands and buttplate.  The sides of the action show some brown patina mixing with case colors and the interior parts such as the breechlock showing all of the vivid casehardened finish.  The wood is as good as I have seen on one of these rifle showing almost no evidence of use.  Mint bore.  Very low number 4437.
