This was originally built as a Spencer carbine during the Civil War and was subsequently converted into a sporting rifle after the war. It features a low blade front sight, fixed semi-buckhorn rear sight, signs of wedge or pin staples on the bottom of the barrel for a full length stock, standard Spencer markings on the action, and a brass hunting horn pinned on the right side of the butt,

Fair overall with dark brown patina, mild oxidation and pitting, heavy overall wear, chips and cracks in the wood, and some missing parts. It appears to be mechanically fine.
