LOT DETAILS

Antique - This rifle was put up for sale by an older Western Pa man who stated that family legend is that a long ago relative carried it during the US Civil War. No one remains in his family that wants the rifle.  He had no direct evidence to substantiate that it was used in the war other than the relatives original Civil War discharge. It shows that a Christopher Claproth served with the 15th Pa Volunteers from 15 Sep 1864 to the unit was discharged on 21 June 1865 in Nashville Tenn. The discharge is included with the sale of the rifle.  An online search produced a copy of the roster for Co M of the Pa 15th that shows this individual served and was discharged on the dates shown. Also named is the officer completing the discharge paper.  The discharge is in an old glass front wood frame.  Out of the frame it shows that it spent some time as a folded document.  Pages from a 1924 National Geographic were used to fill the gap between the back of the frame and the glass front. The rifle is a Spencer Army Military Model 56-56, 52 caliber rim fire with 30 inch barrel. The front sight lug  acted as a bayonet mount on this model. It is in excellent mechanical condition and has a very fine to excellent strongly rifled barrel with only a few minor marks. The feeding tube is complete and functional.  It has serial number 23717.  Which indicates it was made during the time of the Civil War. Flayderman's Guide to Antique American Firearms indicates that 11470 Spencer Army models were delivered to the Government during the Civil War in 1863-4.  Approximate serial range for the first batch was 700 to 11,000 with a second  group in the 28000 range.  The exterior wear shows some minor trace pitting in a few spots and deeper pitting on the top of the butt plate.  The magazine tube is complete and functional with internal spring.  It does show surface rust.  The stock is original and generally in very fine condition. The left side of the butt does show two straight line cracks. A longer one back from the wrist and a short one just in front of the butt plate.
