MARTIALLY MARKED MODEL 1860 HENRY LEVER ACTION RIFLE.

MARTIALLY MARKED MODEL 1860 HENRY LEVER ACTION RIFLE. SN 3041. Cal. 44 RF Henry. Usual configuration with 24-1/4″ oct bbl with integral magazine, German silver front sight and fixed rear sight. Receiver has a small screw in the top flat just behind the ejection port which probably serves to keep the extractor in contact with the cartridge rim on extraction. Serial number was observed in the usual place, on top flat of the bbl just forward of the receiver and on the left side of lower tang under the wood. Butt stock and butt plate are fine replacements. Right forward side of the receiver and the adjacent of bbl flat are stamped with military inspector initials, “HH” on the receiver and “C.G.C./H” on the bbl flat. According to Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms there were 1,731 of these rare rifles purchased by the Union Army. Most were issued to the 3rd Veteran Volunteer Regimen which was assigned picket duty around the capital, seeing very little action. Those veteran volunteers, upon their expiration of term or service were allowed to purchase their rifles and side arms. CONDITION: Good, no original finish remains with the iron being a dark brown patina; sharp edges of the bbl show considerable wear but the bbl address is still distinct and legible. The magazine follower and spring are replacements. The hammer has a large gouge on the left side and retains most of an old refinish. The receiver has been polished with rounded edges and some hammer marks on the carrier and around the carrier opening. It has light scratches and a couple of small dings. The wood is fine and retains most of its custom finish. The lever is a little long and sticks against the lever latch and the lever screw is a replacement. The bore is strong and dark with moderate pitting. The hammer will not hold in the safety notch, otherwise mechanics are fine. 4-45621 (15,000-25,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2012

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
