Description:

Manufactured in 1865. The barrel has a blade front sight and two-line patent/address legend ahead of a period buckhorn rear sight. The left side of the barrel and buttstock have a factory loop for a sling hook and sling swivel respectively. Matching serial numbers are found on left side of lower tang, barrel, stock inlet, and buttplate. The firepower of the Henry Rifles was valued on the frontier in the years that followed the Civil War. Most Henry Rifles were "working guns;" the surviving examples typically exhibit wear associated with years of hard use.
