Overview of Spencer Civil War Repeating Carbine Identified to a “J. Taggart”

Item Details

High Estimate3000
Low Estimate2000
serial #47616, 56 CF, 22” six-groove barrel with a bright very fine bore showing a few spots of light pitting nearer the muzzle and otherwise crisp rifling throughout. This is an interesting carbine that is stamped in small serifed font lettering “J.TAGGART” on the lower tang and it has also been very competently converted during the period of use to centerfire. The metal surfaces have mostly toned to a dark brown patina showing remnants of old oxidation and minor handling marks. The lockplate shows no visible markings and the top action flat retains a mostly intact Spencer Repeating Rifle Co. Boston address with a few letters and most of the patent date no longer visible. The “J.TAGGART” stamp on the lower tang was no doubt applied long ago and shows expected consistent wear, the second “G” worn from contact with the lever when it is closed. The smooth walnut buttstock and forend remain in very good condition having darkened from the years and showing a small thin crack behind the sling bar along with the overall expected light dings and mild abrasions. Metal-to-wood fit remains very nice overall, all hardware is intact and the barrel is matching the frame. The front sight has been replaced long ago with a copper or brass blade and the action seems to function well mechanically. Preliminary research has revealed a number of possible Union cavalrymen including Private James Taggart of the 6th Regiment Missouri State Militia Cavalry, Private John Taggart of the 3rd Regiment Wisconsin Cavalry and Sergeant Jesse Taggart of the 18th Cavalry Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers. It is possible one of these Taggarts took this carbine home after the conflict and stamped their name in it post-war, the centerfire conversion was probably done not long after the Civil War and is also an indication that the arm “left” government service. A very interesting example for the American antique martial arms collector. (13C9997-22) {ANTIQUE} [John Lipski Collection] (2000/3000)
