EARLY ENGRAVED HENRY MODEL 1860 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

SN 1328. Cal. .44 RF Henry. Usual configuration with 24-1/4″ oct bbl that has integral magazine with altered nickel silver front sight & a reproduction Henry-style ladder rear sight in the dovetail in top flat of receiver. Top flat of bbl also has a rear sight dovetail and the SN just forward of the receiver. Bbl address is very small & is probably spurious. Bbl is probably a reproduction by the the late Ron Kudrick from Reno, Nevada who made very faithful reproduction Henry rifles several years ago. The SN on the bbl is of a much smaller font than normal Henry numbers. Rnd portion of the bbl under the loading sleeve has the assembly number “1268” which number is also on rear face of loading sleeve and is of the same font as SN on top flat. SN is found on left side of lower tang, under the wood, inside top tang channel of buttstock and inside toe of buttplate. These three sets of numbers are of the proper-sized font. Mounted with very nicely figured, uncheckered American walnut buttstock that has early features including slight perch belly & rnd heel buttplate with large trap and corresponding large hole in the buttstock to accommodate a 4-pc wood cleaning rod (not present). Both buttplate screws & all three tang screws are orig to this rifle and are matching numbered. Receiver & buttplate tang are very nicely engraved by one of the Ulrich’s with full coverage foliate arabesque patterns on both sides & front side panels. Each sideplate has an open inscription panel. Matching foliate arabesque patterns extend over top three flats of receiver and onto top & bottom tangs. Buttplate tang is engraved to match. CONDITION: Fine, all matching with numbers as noted above. Bbl, lever & hammer retain a smooth, even plummy blue patina with strong blue in bbl gullets. Receiver & sideplates show moderate edge wear with light nicks & scratches having been cleaned a long time ago. Lever & hammer are a plummy brown, artificially aged patina. Buttstock has an internal crack through the lower buttplate screw hole, otherwise wood is sound with a few light nicks & scratches and retains about all of a restored finish. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore with some minor scattered pitting. 4-48098 JR278 (7,500-12,500) – Lot 1188
