Manufactured 1864. Bolt converted to centerfire. Upper tang drilled and tapped for sight mounting. Replacement sights and stock. Matching serial numbers on the barrel and left side of lower tang. Only around 14,000 Henrys 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.
