Henry Original Cody Firearms Museum Series Lever Action Centerfire Rifle

The third edition Cody Firearms Museum Collectors Series Henry New Original Rifle is a beautiful example of a highly engraved Henry faithfully recreated in the style of one of America’s most famous of the 19th Century firearm engravers, Louis Daniel Nimschke. Nimschke, unlike other engravers of his time did not work directly for a firearm manufacturer but commissioned work from his New York City Studio. Striking in appearance, Nimschke’s style features a combination of bold American scroll coupled with fine European detailing. To produce this special rifle Baron Engraving combined the latest in etching technology with the old-world craftsmanship of hand-engraving to deliver a stunning rifle. The brass receiver features 90% coverage, a nickel finish which is complemented by brilliantly polished and nitre-blued screws, a highly figured walnut stock with nickel plated furniture. This Cody Museum Collectors Series rifle is limited to 300 units.

With great effort, and more than a little pride in a job well done, Henry brought back the Original Henry Rifle, made entirely on US soil, just as B. T. Henry’s rifles were. The Henry Original is true to Henry’s 1860 patterns and patents, and virtually identical aside from concessions necessary to adapt to the .44-40 centerfire round that replaced the long-obsolete rimfires. This rifle uses a specially-formulated hardened brass receiver with the same tensile strength as steel and is fitted with a one-piece octagonal barrel and magazine, fancy grade American Walnut stock, a classic folding ladder rear sight and blade front, traditional half-cock safety hammer notch, and no modernized manual safety.
