(9274A-18-10) FIRST MODEL HENRY RIFLE
4,800 serial range. Absolutely untouched and could benefit from some TLC. Bbl markings are generally VG with some minor pitting around the serial number area. The rest of the bbl has no pits and shows a blue-brown patina. Sharp corners. Action functions very well. Brass has turned a dark brown-green patina. It has seen a fair amount of use. Original wood shows various mars and dings and there were 8 silver Kentucky style inlays in the stock. 3 are present. Early first model style buttplate. Original sling swivels. Original sights. Gun has seen a fair amount of use but is a good representation of a First Model Henry Rifle with all matching numbers. An interesting piece of Americana. ~~> VIEW PHOTO <~~ e

(8949-18-4) 1860 HENRY RIFLE
With correct U.S. Martial markings. Featuring the 'C.G.C.' on the side of the bbl, frame is stamped with an 'H' and a 'C', 3,100 serial number range with all matching numbers including most of the screws; a few of them don't have a number on them-they either came that way or they're replacements of the period. Frame is generally VG with some rounding to the corners and the usual dings, mars and scuff marks. The bbl is in VG cond as well with some rounding to the corners, mostly a plum brown coloration with traces of blue in the protected areas. A slot had been added forward of the original rear sight, right through the bbl address. Fairly common on the Henry rifles-as the soldiers got older, their eyesight not what it was, they'd have to locate the sight farther forward. It has long since been returned to the original position having a blank put into the added slot. Orig wood is in VG cond showing some mars, dings and a very slight shrinkage, less than 1/16" at the toe. Gun shows the usual signs of usage and wear that the martial guns were exposed to but still probably better than the average martially marked Henry which in itself is extremely rare-only about 130 of these have been located to date. Excellent piece of American history. Complete with correct sights. ~~> VIEW PHOTO <~~ e

(16-307) ELABORATELY ENGRAVED 66 WINCHESTER AND HENRY PAIR
This pair of guns are on consignment to us from a California collection. They were formerly in the H. Ball collection for the last 60 years and were recently sold to another collector on the West Coast. These guns were part of the award winning gun show display that was called 'Fort Winchester'. Both guns compliment each other beautifully; one is a factory engraved Henry with the engraving attributed to Hoggson. This is very typical of his work-he was the factory engraver that did most the Henry rifles and was quite accomplished in his field; 5,3XX serial number range with fancy wood. The other one is a factory engraved 66 Winchester done by John Ulrich who was Winchesters premier engraver of the period and one of 7 Ulrich engravers; in the 36,XXX range with fancy wood as well; slight repair at the toe. Both have a beautiful very deep butterscotchy brass patina coloration on the receivers. The 66 retains a considerable amount of orig blue; traces of blue on the Henry. Both exhibit some of the finest deepest patina that I've seen on a pair of guns for a number of years. Beautiful inside and out. Guns are to be sold as a pair as per the consignors wishes or the Henry alone but he prefers to sell them as a pair. Quite simply...THE ONLY (CLOSE TO) MATCHED PAIR EVER OFFERED! ~~> VIEW PHOTO <~~ e

(8590-18-6) 2ND MODEL HENRY RIFLE IN THE 10,XXX SERIAL NUMBER RANGE
Overall gun is in VG+ cond with an aged plum brown patina coloration to the bbl, exc markings, correct orig sights which include the frequently seen stationary buckhorn rear, VG bore-some scattered minor pits. Receiver has turned a blotchy butterscotch patina coloration, mechanical cond is exc. Orig wood is in VG+ cond; great looking stock with 2-3 dozen tacks which have been in there a long time indicating what appears to be Indian usage-definitely a lot of age to the tacks. Correct sling swivels as well as sling staple on the bbl, crisp action. Overall gun has a lot of eye appeal and definitely shows Western heritage. This would be a great addition to anyone's Winchester collection. ~~> VIEW PHOTO <~~ e

(8554-17-190) MARTIALLY MARKED CIVIL WAR HENRY IN THE 3,1XX SERIAL NUMBER RANGE
Overall gun is generally VG with a light bbl address, semi sharp corners, bbl shows signs of having possibly been cleaned at one time and is a gun metal gray brownish coloration. Orig brass receiver is generally VG with some rounding to the corners, possibly polished a long time ago and has since turned a darker brass patina coloration. Wood shows the usual scuff marks, dings and signs of minor abuse but is still sound and solid with no splits or cracks. Marked on the side of the receiver is 'C.C.' as well as the 'CGC' stamp on the bbl which is definitely guaranteed to be correct. Overall gun is generally a VG specimen of a hard to find martially marked Henry rifle. Less than 150 of these have surfaced to date. All correct with the exception of the buttplate; it's a correct Henry style but is not matching to the gun. A good looking gun. ~~> VIEW PHOTO <~~ e
