It is mounted with uncheckered, nicely figured American walnut with straight grip & crescent brass buttplate with trap. Left side of the buttstock below the swivel has the distinctive “Henry bump”. Serial number was observed in the usual places, on top flat of bbl at the frame, left side of the lower tang under the wood, top tang channel of the buttstock and inside the toe of the buttplate. No additional dissassembly was effected to check for other matching numbers. The frame, sideplates & buttplate were polished a long time ago and now have repatinated with a lovely medium mustard patina. CONDITION: Fine to very fine, all matching.

Receiver, sideplates & buttplate are as noted above with a fine medium mustard patina. Hammer retains thin case colors on the sides and the lever is a brown patina. Stock is sound and retains most of a very old restored finish. Mechanics are fine, strong bright bore with scattered bright pitting. 4-44187 (15,000-25,000)
