24 inch octagon barrel chambered in 44 RF caliber. Bore has visible six groove rifling with some pitting. Sights include the later style front blade with the high square back which was common after 1,200 serial range and a reproduction rear that is graduated to 1000 yards. Barrel address has the larger-size lettering. Barrel and magazine tube are a gray patina. Brass receiver has a toned smooth patina. Has the small "H" factory inspection marking located on the lower tang representing inspection by Benjamin Tyler Henry himself. There are some spurious Martial markings on the left side of the barrel and frame as well as a cartouche stamped in the stock. (There were no Martially marked Henry rifles in the 10k serial range). Hammer and lever are gray. Mechanically fine functioning action. American walnut oil finished stock has a few dings and some handling mars. Has the later style pointed heel brass buttplate. Steel cleaning rod is not present. Has sling swivels on the left side of the rifle and comes with a brown leather sling. No visible Henry “Bump". This is an example of a late production Henry rifle that was made in September of 1865 that would display well. .
