VERY FINE MARTIALLY MARKED HENRY RIFLE
Description: This is one of eight hundred Henry’s delivered to the 1st DC Cavalry were delivered during the first part of 1864 and are all contained within the 3,000 to 4,000 serial number range. These guns were inspected at the New Haven Arms factory by Charles G. Chapman, who began the inspection process in February of 1864. These guns bear Chapman’s block C.G.C. mark on the right side of the barrel. It has the correct inspectors marks "H C" on the receiver as well as " C G C" stamped on the barrel and a "C" on the buttplate. 24 inch barrel is mostly a gunmetal grey with sharp corners. Bright shiny bore. The rear sight is a replacement but the front sight is correct. Nice action. Stocks are in excellent condition. There are some brass tacks that have been quite tastefully applied to the stock. This gun doesn't show the typical Native American use. Most often they are beat all to pieces. There are about 30 tacks on the right side with one broken off. You can see the wood is much cleaner where that one tack is missing. Leads me to believe the tacks have been in it for a very long time. The left side has just 5 tacks. I don't know if there is any significance to the tacks but these are the same as those on Sitting Bull's gun that is in the Smithsonian. Very few have survived. They got used up in the Civil War. A very nice Henry Rifle. Leroy Merz Antique Firearms specializes in antique and vintage Winchesters and other fine American firearms.
