Description:
24 inch octagon barrel chambered in 44 RF caliber with a bore that shows light roughness and scattered pitting throughout. Sights include a German silver blade front with a full buckhorn rear. Barrel is also marked with the early “HENRY'S PATENT - OCT 16 1860 / KING'S PATENT - MARCH 29 1866” barrel address. Barrel and full length magazine tube are a faded blue/brown patina with scattered spots of light corrosion. Receiver and forearm cap retain about 70% silver finish toning to a pleasing dark tarnish while the buttplate retains just traces of silver finish. The top of receiver is inscribed "E. J. TURNER". Hammer has faint traces of case color while the lever is mostly a brown patina. Smooth functioning action. Walnut forearm and straight grip stock show a moderately worn finish with scattered dents and handling marks. Rifle also features sling swivels and a 4 piece cleaning rod. Not a bad looking silver plated and inscribed 1866 lever action rifle that was made in 1869.
