the gun is marked " Spencer Gun Co." "Model A" after doing a little research I found that "Spencer Gun Co." is one of a larg list of names that Crescent produced under. the Pat. Date on the action is something like Nov. 15 1890 and seeing as crescent was producing from doubles from 1890 till the early 40's I figured that this was a logical conclusion! Could I be wrong ? I will check out RST, its definatly a better alternative than damageing my weapon. Even if it is a 200$ utility gun.
