I'm looking for someone who makes Silver plated Henry Rifles. ;D
When i look at those pics from the Henry,sn2258, i think that's how my next Henry has to look.
But who makes such beauties?
Do you think Uberti will do it?





Oh,btw, in 1862, Silver plated & engraved cost $10.00  :D

Well ..... I hate to bear ill tidings, but ........... no.  Uberti won't do it for you.  You could probably special order a Henry, Engraved and Silver Plate, but, You probably won't live long enough to see it delivered.  Uberti can't really keep up with the orders they have for standard guns.
Your best bet would be to find an engraver, and a plater, have it engraved and then plated here.  Take your broker to lunch first.  Make it a good lunch.  You'll need that broker ;)

seems to me...and remember I'm getting old and befuddled  ;)

I recall special commentate Henry's , were done for several corporations in the mid 80's , I'm thinking Justin Boots was one . I think the photo was offered here on this board...seems one was nickel or silver plated  :-\


Uberti does offer a engraved Civilian Henry ( and I think Taylor's has one now) disassembled and nickeled might not be too cost prohibitive
if one had the mad money  ;)
when planets align...do the deal !

I know that Taylor offer one, Uberti, didn't find one on their website.
In 1981 they made for the Canadian Arms Corp 10 engraved Henry's.
Here is no.4. It was sold in Germany for €1895 or $2728.



That was the Henry i was thinking to buy in November last year.Ok, not Silver plated, but.....

The old engraver i found for engraving my Henry Lincoln died before he could start with it. :'(
Very nice old man.
