Thank you, Little Jo Description: HERES A GREAT LOOKING HENRY. SERIAL NUMBER 1301 . THIS GUN IS FRESH TO THE MARKET !!!!! BEFORE I LISTED THIS GUN I DID SOME RESEARCH. DID NOT FIND GUN ANY WHERE FOR SALE OR ANY PAST RECORDS. PURCHASED FROM A LONG TIME COLLECTOR HERE IN FLORIDA. HE'S HAD IT FOR SOME TIME AND WHEN HE PURCHASED IT HE WAS TOLD THAT THIS GUN WAS USED IN THE CIVIL WAR. ALSO A NAME WAS MENTIONED WHICH HIS INITIALS ARE PUNCH DOT ENGRAVED ON FRAME J.W. IRWIN . SO THERE NO PAPERWORK GOING DIRECTLY TO HIM AS OWNER . BUT WITH THE NAME I HAD AND INFO ON WHERE HE SERVED . I FIRST PULLED OUT WHILEY SWORDS BOOK "THE HENRY RIFLE".  TO SEE IF SERIAL NUMBER WAS LISTED IN HIS BOOK. IT WAS NOT BUT SERIAL NUMBER 1302 WAS ! AND SERIAL # 3102 WENT TO MAJ. G.L. FEBIGER  WHO WAS THE U.S. MILITARY POST MASTER GENERAL . HE WAS WITH THE 1ST D.C. AND WAS IN FROM 1862 TILL 1867. 1ST SERGT. J.W. IRWIN WAS WITH THE PA 149TH INFANTRY. THE 149TH WHERE IN MANY BATTLES AROUND WASHINGTON D.C. J.W. IRWIN WAS IN FROM 8/23/1862 TO 6/24/1865 . WAS WOUNDED AT GETTYSBURG AND AGAIN WOUNDED IN THE THIGH AT THE BATTLE AT WILDERNESS , VA. . SO I HAVE COPYS OF SERGT. J.W. IRWIN CIVIL WAR  PERSONAL RECORDS , REGIMENT  HISTORY, FROM 8/1/62 TO 6/24/65 , MUSTER LIST OF THE 149TH PA. , AND PAGES OF DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF THE REGIMENT. CONDITION : IS EXCELLENT. METAL IS VERY SHARP. THE FINISH ON THE METAL IS STILL ALL PRESENT THINNING DOWN TO 70 % . ALL MARKINGS ARE CRISP AND CORNERS STILL SHARP. BRASS LOOKS TO BE CLEANED AT ONE TIME BUT THE PATINA IS RETURNING NICELY. WOOD HAS BEEN WORKED ON LIGHTLY SOME TIME AGO AT HAS LINSEED OIL ADDED TO FINISH. SCREWS ARE VERY NICE AND NOT BUGGERED . ACTION AND BORE ARE EXCELLENT. ON THESE FIRST MODELS THE REAR SIGHT WAS MOUNTED ON FRAME. SO SIGHT LOCATION  IS 100 % CORRECT . ALSO ON THE 1ST MODEL HENRYS .YOUR TRAP DOOR IN BUTT PLATE IS LARGER TO ACCOMIDATE THE HICKORY FACTORY CLEANING RODS. WHICH ARE IN THE STOCK. THIS IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF A WINCHESTER HENRY 1ST MODEL RIFLE ! THESE 1ST MODELS WHERE THE FIRST 1500 HENRYS AFTER THE IRON FRAME. AND IF YOU STUDY THIS RIFLE YOU WILL SEE THE 1ST MODEL HAS ALL ITS OWN CHARACTERISTICS DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER MODEL.
