| 56-56 Spencer The 56-56 Spencer Rimfire was introduced in 1860 and was the first Spencer Cartridge and Rifle. It was used in the Civil War in 1863, on the order of President Lincoln. It was later manufactured by many companies until 1920. It is now a scarce item, as you can't reload rimfire ammunition.

| Left Picture Spencer (no headstamp) believed to be made in the 1860s by the Stamp Copper Company for Spencer Rifle Company. The case was made by W.R.A. (Winchester Repeating Arms) for the Stamp Copper Company, who finished the cartridge for Spencer Rifle Company. The reason being in those days the Gun maker (Spencer) had to supply the cartridges for the gun they produced, as no one esle would have them available. They may also be Springfield Armory, using C.D. Leet Cases, at any rate, they are old ! Only 1 Cartridge available . |
