3rd Model New Haven Arms Model 1860 Henry brass frame with sling swivel on barrel and stock. Traditional 900 yard marked Henry sight with matching numbers observed on barrel, interior of lower tang, and buttstock mortis. These later New Haven rifles did not have the serial numbered screws that are found in the earlier First and Second Models. An incredibly pronounced "Henry Bump" is evident on left side of stock below sling swivel. CONDITION: The rifle retains a wonderful, mellow mustard patina on all brass with no evidence of cleaning. Sideplates fit solidly with no distress. Barrel retains approximately 85-90% homogeneous mix of blue and soft patina coming through. Rifle remains chambered for .44 rimfire, having not been converted to centerfire as so many examples are found. Traces of case color finish remain on hammer while trigger and lever have somewhat silvered. Stock finish is very good overall with typical slight wear at comb and wrist. Appropriate four piece steel cleaning rod remains in butt. Bolt bore, while being dark, has very strong and pronounced rifling. Mechanics are proper and in working order. This is an exceptionally fine Third Model Henry with no evidence of having been modified or helped in any manner. Fine untouched examples like this are infrequently found and would certainly be the centerpiece of any Winchester enthusiast's collection.
