An exciting Civil War Marked Henry repeating...
An exciting Civil War Marked Henry repeating rifle with battlefield replacement, walnut butt stock. The bottom edge is carved "W. Cody" and has 8 notches. It is known that parts of the 7th Kansas Cavalry (of which W.F. Cody was a member) were armed with Henry Rifles. (total 1731 acquired by U.S. Government between 1862-1865) while records do show Cody being issued a Spencer Repeater, we do know Cody would constantly upgrade his armament to the best arms available. It is obvious that the stock has been with the rifle for a very long period of time. Beautifully mellow patina. A piece of history that is worth a careful look. (est. $50,000 - 70,000)
