HENRY MODEL 1860 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

HENRY MODEL 1860 LEVER ACTION RIFLE. Cal. 44 RF Henry. SN 9116. Late Civil War produced rifle with 24-1/4″ oct bbl with integral magazine tube. It has a modified German silver front sight with 1,000 yard Henry ladder rear sight. Mounted with uncheckered straight grain American walnut with straight grip & brass crescent buttplate with trap. Left side of bbl & left side of stock are fitted with factory sling swivels. Area below stock swivel has pronounced “Henry bump”. Serial number is found on left side of lower tang under the wood, faintly inside top tang channel of stock & inside toe of buttplate. Screws, while not numbered on this late of a production Henry are all orig Henry screws. A little research of Springfield records could produce a tie of this rifle to a Civil War soldier even though it is not a martially marked model. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl & magazine tube are a wonderful dark attic plum brown patina with traces of orig blue in gullets, particularly on right side. Receiver is a wonderful dark mustard patina with somewhat rounded edges and screws retain generous amounts of orig blue. Lever is also a dark plum brown patina with hammer retaining faded case colors on both sides with edge a matching patina. Extractor retains most of its orig blue. Stock is sound with chips by top tang, a couple of gouges on left side & another on right side with usual light handling & use marks and retains most of a fine hand rubbed patina, possibly lightly sanded a long time ago. Buttplate patina matches receiver. Fine mechanics, strong bore with some shine & fine pitting. Consignor states that it is a good shooter, that years ago he obtained some orig ammunition & fired several rounds. 4-59086 JR106 (15,000-20,000)
