[Henry4440]

As some of you guys know, i always wanted a hand engraved silver-plated Henry Rifle.
After searching sometime for a guy who can make it, i found him.But he never engraved a Henry.
I showed him what i want.He said ok, i will try.
Here is a pic of my 'old'Hege-Lincoln Uberti Henry Rifle.



And now some pics from his work.










What did you guys honestly think about his work?

The next part is the silver plating.Hope to get the frame in two weeks.
More pics will follow then.

I love the engraving, however personally I would have skipped the "Lincoln" part and had your own name engraved there.    I can't wait to see the silver plating!! 

[Steel Horse Bailey]

I'm with FCK on this.  'Tho I understand why you did it.

[Major 2]

isn't it a Hege-Lincoln ?  came from Uberti with Lincoln Engraved on it ?

It's very nice 

[swordboy]

can't wait to see it all plated up

[Henry4440]

Here are three new pics of the silver plating.




The last work to do, is a little plate over the Lincoln lettering with my engraved initials.

Can't wait to get my 'NEW HENRY' this week.

Lonesome, I think that gun is illegal in your country. As a good friend I will allow you to export it to me!!     Sweet rifle!!

Had some problems with the frame and the barrel.They are by the gunsmith.
Hope to get it on monday.So NO shooting over the weekend.

The initials are "APW"?  Why shoot it? Buff it and hang around the range looking cool!!
