Only 3,000 Spencer Model 1867 carbines were reportedly manufactured by the Spencer Repeating Rifle Co. circa 1867, with a small fraction of that surviving today; evidenced by how few of these have turned up for sale through Rock Island Auction. The Model 1867 Carbine was identical to the U.S. contract Model 1865 carbine, of which approximately 57,000 Model 1865 carbines were made collectively between Spencer and Burnside, except the Stabler cut-off fitted to the bottom of most Model 1865 receivers was replaced with Spencer's patent cut-off on the top of the receiver. Model 1867 carbines were commercial production firearms and were not marked with Ordnance inspection marks. The carbine has a 20 inch barrel with a block front sight and folding leaf rear sight with 900 yard center notch. A sling swivel is mounted on the stock. A sling ring and bar are mounted on the left side. The top of the receiver is roll-stamped "SPENCER REPEATING/RIFLE CO.BOSTON MASS./PAT'D MARCH. 6. 1860." in three-lines. Serial number "101924" is stamped on the top of the receiver and underside of the barrel. "M 1867" stamped on top of the barrel at the breech, with the "7" stamped over top of a previous "5". Ten small "kill" notches carved on top of the stock comb.
