For your consideration is a Spencer Arms - Bannerman Model 1890 Shotgun. This scarce model 1890 produced by Spencer Arms out of Windsor Connecticut from 1882 - 1889. In 1890 Francis Bannerman & Sons of New York brought the patents and machinery and moved the operation to Brooklyn, New York. They produced what is known as the Spencer-Bannerman models from 1890 to 1907. On this is mounted a slide, which is connected with a vertically oscillating block which constitutes both the breechblock and cartridge carrier, so that a to-and-fro movement of the slide by the left hand operates the breechblock and carrier, this to-and-fro movement of the hand serving to place the cartridge in the chamber, close the breech, withdraw the empty shell, and, after the first discharge, to also automatically cock the hammer. It is capable of being fired six shots in three seconds. The gun is in very good condition for the age with a rich patina having formed over the original blue'd barrel and receiver. The fore grip has a crack running through the walnut and the stock has some dents and scratches attributed to use. The pump/ slide action works as intended. Serial Number: 9903. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic Long Gun, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
