1892 Winchester converted to Henry appearance by Stembridge Gun Rentals in the 1950’s before the advent of reproductions. The gun measures approx. 41-1/2” overall with 22-1/2” round barrel, full magazine. The frame is extended approx. 1-3/8” with false Henry type magazine spring lever, and a long range tang sight added. The barrel and small parts have been nickeled, the frame and buttplate gold-plated. The stock is stamped “C. B. 176”. The action good, the bore rough from shooting 5-in-1 blanks. The barrel is in .44-40 caliber, but not for firing live rounds. This exact rifle was included in the Stembridge Gun Rentals sale and was noted at that time as being used in the 1964 Western movie Cheyenne Autumn, by John Ford starring Richard Widmark, Carl Malden, and Jimmie Stewart and a host of other famous actors including Mike Mazurki. This was Ford’s last film in Monument Valley and there is a fun scene of Jimmie Stewart as Wyatt Earp in Dodge City. 1892 Henrys like this are in many other films throughout the 1960’s and also a couple of shots in Silverado. Condition is good as refinished and movie-used. Special Caveat: Not for firing live ammunition. Blanks only. Est: $900 - $1,800
