Historic Civil War Inscribed New Haven Arms Company Henry Lever Action Rifle

Lot 6

Civil War Inscribed New Haven Arms Company Henry Rifle

Manufactured in 1863. Only around 14,000 Henry's were manufactured in 1860-1866, and around half of them are believed to have been used by Union soldiers, mostly purchased by the men themselves, some using reenlistment bonuses. "That damned Yankee rifle that can be loaded on Sunday and fired all week" was one of the most advanced firearms of the war. This example is not martially inspected, however, it bears an inscription to the Union soldier that carried it. The right sideplate is lightly inscribed "W.R. Minor/Co. D. 57th Indn". The National Parks Service Civil War soldier database lists a private William R. Minor in company D of the 57th Indiana Infantry. The top flat of the barrel has the two-line Henry's patent and New Haven address. The matching serial number is marked on the top flat of the barrel, left side of the lower tang, stock inlet, inside the buttplate, and on both of the buttplate screws. It is fitted with an iron blade front sight and folding ladder rear sight with 900 yard center notch. The sling swivel on the left of the barrel is absent and the left of the refinished stock retains its sling swivel and has the early "rounded heel" buttplate. The rifle has an old coat of varnish applied overall, and the mainspring feels slightly weak. Many of these Henry rifles saw hard use on the Western frontier after the Civil War, and they remain desirable in almost any condition, particularly with inscriptions to the soldiers that carried them during the war.

Civil War Era New Haven Arms Company Henry Lever Action Rifle

Henry's were manufactured in 1860-1866, and half of them are believed to have been used by Union soldiers, mostly purchased by the men themselves, some using reenlistment bonuses. "That damned Yankee rifle that can be loaded on Sunday and fired all week" was one of the most advanced firearms of the war. The Civil War era, 1863 production barrel on this example is stamped with the name "CHAS. R. NAGLE", that may have been of the Union soldier that carried it. The top flat of the barrel has the two-line Henry's patent and New Haven address. The serial number "4489" is on the left side of the lower tang, "2770" on the top flat of the barrel, and "12538" is marked inside the buttplate. It is fitted with a German silver blade front sight and replacement notch rear sight. The rifle has been converted to centerfire, the sling swivel is absent from the left of the barrel, and the hammer does not hold at full cock.

The box was readily adaptable for use with the .44 RF cartridge such as the one used in the Henry rifle, of which these have also been attributed as an accessory for a Henry rifle. Construction is solid brass with "B.KITTREDGE & Co CIN. O./PATENTED.
