Now, regarding your Spencer Carbine, serial # 36503, according to my SRS Volume, I find that your Spencer Carbine may have been issued or re-issued to a member of Co I of the 3rd Michigan Volunteer Cavalry on or about June, 1864. Hope this is of some value to you. Between 1860 and 1865.Serial numbers from near 3000 to 100000. Thereafter the letter 'C' indicates 100000, for example, 'C 200' would be the serial.

I read somewhere that Spencer essentially reused serial numbers between the different models. So, it could be possible to have a rifle and carbine with the same number but different manufacturing dates.
