This is my favorite. An early factory engraved Spencer.

I've looked for years for engraved Spencers and Burgess and other very early repeater shotguns. I have never seen anything like your Spencer. Congratulations

Thank you Daryl! Sounds like we have something in common. Here is one more you might like.

Scott,

Does that gun have raised beads on the edges Trigger guard bow? Or is it just the engraving making it look that way? If you recall.

Boy Brian i don't remember that, sorry. The gun did have 2 gold in lays, one in the stock and the other the grip cap. Most had a choice for the gold one or the other but not both and this was one of the earliest ejector gun made.

The Spencer with the Prairie Chicken and chicks with the hill and split rail fence in the the background is a beautiful engraving scene, among my favorites in this thread. The ducks on the other side are just great too. In both scenes, the case coloring gives an impression of clouds.
