1885 Alex Henry Take-Down Falling Block - 450bpe - cased w/ all accessories

Description:
***** SOLD *****     ** PRICE REDUCED BY 7K** 1885 Alex Henry Take-Down Falling Block - 450 / 3-1/4" bpe - cased with all accessories - includes orig scope.

**UPDATE**  I added detail pictures of the original scope that came with the rifle, and how its mounted.

This was the first, and most favorite rifle in my collection.  However, I've decided to concentrate on Double Rifles - So I'm offering this Alexander Henry Falling Block up for sale.

This is one of only a very few cased guns, and the only one known complete with original scope.  It also has all accessories which include bullet mold numbered to the gun and loading and cleaning tools.

It also comes with the "only known" original "Instructions for Loading" sheets from 1885, and an original list of Implements, hand quilled in ink.

The rifle is in near mint condition in its original leather case.  Remnants of the Case's end label would indicate this was gun number "33" and part of a large collection owned by an Indian Maharajah.

Documentation from the Original Alexander Henry Ledgers confirms all is original.  Lots of pictures show how the take-down system works.
