US SPENCER 1865 56-56 RF

A beautiful and rare example of craftsmanship and engineering of the past. 
 

One I don’t want to sell and I’m in no rush to let go of but for the right price anything is for sale. I took very good care of it and only brought it out of its sock and case to document its features and admire it from time to time. I have other mil surp I’m interested in so I’m willing to let it go. 
 

The US Spencer is an important and valuable piece of history and I have many books on the subject of its origins, creator, the engineering and war time service.

NO PAL REQUIRED to own this fully functioning example. I myself have not fired it but it’s definitely a functioning and ready to fire example. You should of course have your local gun smith inspect and approve its use before any use though. I myself had it inspected but a second opinion never hurts.

I have many more photos and a video that will soon be uploaded of its action.
