I recently acquired a NA&A manufactured Henry's Patent rifle in 577/450.
According to Winfer (book#1) these were made (1600+/-) under contract to be supplied to New South Wales. Mine is stamped NSW on the butt.
Are there others around?
Mine is under #200, so early in production, with full wood, Henry rifling barrel.
I am missing the clearing rod and would love a view of the correct item.
No idea how it came to be in Canada.
Thanks for any information.

Wow,what a response!
Um...... Anyone want to venture an approximate value of one in 70% NRA?
Bore is 99% and shoots faultlessly.
$1?
$100?
$1000?
TIA

577Rodda, first time I've seen your notice.
Not sure if this will help, but DoubleD is all things Martini, he may be your best bet to point you right as far as your henry.
I hope the link below helps you identify what you'll need - time wise at least

In the post (This site) in Paradox guns, under ROAH rifle, there is a photo of rifles on a table, for auction.
Mine is identical to the one on the table closest to the camera.
Not able to post photos.

That's quite special. I've never seen one up close, for sale or otherwise.
I noticed, DD is the poster for that thread.

Sold within hours of being put up for sale. I was sorely tempted on the way home from the gathering to buy it.
Here is the table full of guns with the Rorah on it.
We did shoot three wall guns at the Gathering this year. One 4 bore was cut down about the length of the Rorah. There was also a 20 mm gun and a full size 4 bore EIC Gun.
I shot the EIC Gun, first shot since it came out of the cache in 2003.

Sorry, I just had to toss this picture in. The Victorian Rifleman Gathering is about shooting old Victorian Rifles. It is not a reenactment or a dress up affair. Some do dress up. This was the 10th Eastcoast US gathering and the celebration of the 5th anniversary of when I proposed to my wife at the 5th gathering, so the wife and I did dress up.
Clothing is replication, beard is real and 6 months in "preparation".
