You certain this is a Model 1860 Spencer Carbine and not a "post-war" Model 1865? Then why does it have a Model 1865-type hammer with rounded nose and the rounded receiver top surface for single-shot loading? It looks a lot like my M1865 Spencer Carbine except it doesn't have as much surface scale pitting.
