Description:
This is a very nice condition "NEW HAVEN ARMS COMPANY" HENRY RIFLE. Serial #2787, 44 RF, 24" octagon barrel with a lightly oxidized and pitted bore which shows strong rifling throughout. This is a very honest early model Henry featuring the rounded heel buttplate, sight dovetail in top of frame and the early barrel address with smaller letters. The rifle shows matching serial numbers on the barrel, side of lower tang, in top tang inlet of stock and on the inside of the buttplate. All markings in both metal and wood are strong and remain clear and fully legible. The barrel shows a nice even rich brown patina with some scattered light surface oxidation present. The loading gate operates smoothly and the brass follower has had its tab reshaped more like a trigger than round. The action shows a lovely ochre patina with nice edges. The sideplates remain tight but the top of each shows impact marks and bruises from removal. They are not overly obtrusive and are likely from the period of use and all patina is rich and even. The buttstock shows a very rich dark color with a wonderful original surface. The "bump" can still be felt below the sling swivel on left side of butt, corresponding sling stud is mounted on left side of barrel. The stock retains a good deal of original finish and shows numerous light marks and dings, none are major. The lower tang of the rifle does not show an inspector's mark but does show a lovely undisturbed patina. The hammer and lever show a nice even and smooth gray brown patina with remnants of faded original color case-hardening visible on hammer. This is a very honest and fine Henry rifle that has a really lovely appearance. Buyer Pays $45.00 shipping to the lower 48 states. I accept USPS Money Orders or Bank Cashier's Check. Will accept Personal check, with shipping hold. 3% Credit Card Fee. Three day non-firing, non-disassembly inspection period. If returned, for any reason, full refund less shipping. Layaway Available! One third down, balance on or before end of 90 days. Other reasonable layaway options considered. ANTIQUE!
