Is it ever! The Jones' underlever hammer single shots are all good, but this is excellent

The full length stock is just the icing on the cake

Does anyone have more info on these? Somehow i overlooked it when going through this thread ages ago! Never seen one. Big weird looking thing. How much did it sell for/was priced at?

Here's hoping!
Looks like I am the high bidder on this A. Henry but I have lost auctions where I thought myself to be the winner - somehow... Sometimes my bid matches another but being made before my bid, takes the win. We'll see.

Anyway, here is the auction description:

Description: This Alexander Henry express rifle has the hammer and lock on the left and a shadow line cheekpiece on the right for left handed shooters. While the original military pattern Henry rifles had their locks and hammers on the left to facilitate easier loading, Henry express rifles typically have their hammers and locks on the right side as has long been standard on sporting rifles. This example has a blade front sight on a large integral base, a notch rear sight with a folding leaf and scope on the raised rib that is marked "ALEX'R HENRY, EDINBURGH & LONDON," intricate English scrollwork on the action, and a checkered forearm and pistol grip stock with checkered steel buttplate. The lock has a sliding half-cock safety ahead of the hammer similar to the style found on high end flintlock and percussion arms from early in the 19th century. The underside of the barrel has several English proofs, "500 EX," and "6582/A.H." The lower tang is marked "5909." The .500 Express black powder cartridge was most popular for hunting tigers in India.

Condition: Fine. The original blue finish on the barrel remains mostly intact with the balance having turned a plum brown. The case colors have mostly silvered out aside from some vivid case colors visible in the protected areas. The are some spots of varnish/oil stains as well as a few minor marks and light scratches. The wood is also fine and has crisp checkering and a few minor handling and storage marks. The scope is more well worn and has distinct signs of having been mounted further forward in the replacement rings at some point. The optics are clear except for some black visible in the outer circumference. The action functions perfectly, and the markings and engraving patterns are distinct.








Now, obviously they are correct that it is a LH rifle with the cheekpiece on the right of the stock. Often Alex Henrys are identified as LH simply because the lock is on the left which is not the case as many A. Henrys were made for right handed shooters (cheekpiece on the left) but with the lock on the right or left. A lock on the right would aid a LH shooter anyway. I'm not a lefty but that doesn't bother me on a rifle such as this.

One thing they seem to have missed is the forend latch.
This latch was used by Henry only on his takedown rifles! So, as I said, "Here's Hoping!!"

Huvius - Very nice indeed, the front bolted left hand lock is indeed unusual (most front bolted were R/H)

Both my AHs (1 L/H, 1 R/H) are rear bolted. From the numbers it appears mid 1880's

Good luck, I hope all goes well and you get it

Well, didn't get it.

Someone got a great rifle for an even greater price!
$4500 plus premium is about as low as a takedown Henry gets.
I guess I must find solace in the Alex Henry rifles I already have...

If it was an internet auction it sounds as if someone put a sniper bid on it/them

They are beatable (depending on the auction site) - ebay is usually easy as it counts down the time available

PM me if you get another one and I will try to help

This was in the US at the Rock Island auction.
My guess is that someone put in the same internet bid as I but placed it before I did.
Just goes to show, if you are really serious, you must arrange a phone bid or have an agent at the auction.
If it were a right handed rifle, I would have done just that but I was hoping to snag a bargain so kind of went in on the soft side.
Its funny, R.I. has this "bid plus" feature which I considered but opted out on. I don't know if that would have made a difference but I will strongly consider it in the future.

Lancaster, that Mulazc takes the cake. Exquisite. I have a Johann Outschar stalking rifle with several very similar features.

Yeah. 444 Marlin is a bit of an odd choice although there really aren't many choices in going up from .375 to something bigger when dealing with barrel diameter and breech diameter.
Would have made a great 450-400 but maybe the chamber couldn't accommodate it. Don't know that for sure but now there isn't anywhere to go from here unless the barrel can take a 450 bore.
