Approximately 14,000 Henry's were manufactured between 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. This rifle was manufactured in 1864 and features L.D. Nimschke style 20th century custom scroll engraving with beaded backgrounds and "Nimschke stars" and entwining line motifs on top.

Very good with gray and artificially aged brown patina over moderate pitting on the iron, legible barrel markings, attractive aged patina and crisp engraving on the brass, and a very nicely figured replacement stock with minor dings and small chips. Mechanically fine.
