Originally setting up in 1750, the Henry family was a multi-generational group of Pennsylvania gunsmiths who got their start in Lancaster before establishing a factory in Boulton circa 1812, where they served as a major source of arms for Astor's American Fur Company, both to arm outgoing trappers and as Indian Trade goods. Blade front and notch rear sights, with a conversion drum and "J.J. HENRY/ BOULTON" on the lightly engraved lock. Smooth full length stock, with brass tip, punch engraved brass wedge escutcheons, stripe hardwood ramrod, with the brass pipe and trigger guard connected with a smooth plate, "S. STATES" on a brass reverse plate, "E.R." on a silver plate on the cheekpiece, floral engraved brass plates on the comb and toe, and a brass patch box.

Good, with a mixed patina and scattered pitting. The stock is good, with chipping at the tip and buttplate, a crack opposite the lock, a few chips, dents and a fine tiger stripe pattern. Mechanically good.
