Made In USA Engraving has traditionally been reserved for very special guns, a way to set a highly prized personal possession or gift aside from the everyday pack. All the way from highly ornate and unique presentation pieces, through standardized patterns, to merely a name and a date; artistic engraving can add beauty to any gun, along with value and heirloom historicity. Engraved original period Henry rifles are very rare, and extremely desirable to collectors.
Recognizing that, Henry created their H011D Deluxe Engraved Original Henry Rifle in a very distinctive Limited Edition One Of 1000 version that duplicated the style and quality of a highly-engraved masterpiece of the gun-maker’s art from a long gone era. That highly collectible deluxe Henry proved so popular that Serial No. 1 sold at the NRA’s Foundation auction for an astounding $83,000 and the entire special run sold out very quickly.
For those who missed out, Henry is happy to announce a second limited edition series, the H011D2, also in a finite 1000-rifle production run, and also with its own unique serial number range from BTH0001D2 to BTH1000D2. Featuring an engraving design inspired by Serial No. 18, an early vintage Henry rifle done in the style of Samuel J. Hoggson around 1862 and chosen for this edition by David Baron, president of Baron Technologies, Inc., the pattern is executed by master engraver Rob Bunting at BTI, with background and artistic help from engraver Seth Karlak and artist Catarina Pech.
This classic American scroll pattern is duplicated on both sides of the brass frame; cut, not molded, and hand chased. Truly beautiful work on our finest and most iconic Henry rifle – this edition will also disappear in a hurry, so order your instant family heirloom now!
