Finely Engraved Alexander Henry Back Action Underlever Falling Block Hammer Rifle

Manufactured c. 1870s to 1880s and likely chambered in .360 Black Powder Express. The top flat of the blued barrel is matted for the entire length apart from where the Alexander Henry, South St. Andrew Street, Edinburgh address is marked, it is fitted with beaded blade front and three-leaf rear sights marked for 100, 150, and 200 yards, all with platinum inlaid center lines, and is cut with the Henry patent rifling. The unique left hand action, lock plate, and hammer are all finished bright and feature intricate English style scroll engraving with the back action lock marked "ALEXr HENRY" in a banner and fitted with a hammer stall, and the top of the action marked "PATENT/No 767". The scroll engraving continues on the bottom of the action, underlever, and trigger guard which are all finished blue. It is mounted with a nicely figured and checkered forearm with horn cap and a pistol grip stock with horn cap, black initial oval, and a solid rubber recoil pad. Provenance: Firearms for Freedom Collection

ConditionFine as period refurbished, retains 95% refinished blue finish, the remainder polished bright, with some faint oil staining on the action, slightly softened engraving, and a few light handling marks. The refinished wood is also fine with two stabilized hairline cracks in the forearm and wrist, a few light handling marks, a few insect holes in the grip cap, age-hardened recoil pad, and crisp refreshed checkering. Mechanically excellent.
