Overview & History
The original Henry rifle, designed by B. Tyler Henry and produced from 1860 to 1866, was the first commercially successful lever-action repeating rifle and the direct predecessor of the Winchester. Genuine 1860s Henry rifles are rare and highly valuable, with value driven by martial markings, condition, and documented history. (Note: the modern Henry Repeating Arms company, founded in 1996, is a separate maker whose rifles are affordable working guns.)
Identifying & Marks
Original Henry rifles carry New Haven Arms barrel markings and serial numbers; martial inspection marks and documented Civil War history add major value. Our specialists distinguish original 1860s rifles from modern production.
