As a Yellow boy, are your referring to a 1866 in 44 rim fire? What information are you looking for? Do you have the rifle, carbine or musket?

From the info You provided all I can tell You is Your 1866 , by ser#,  was built in 1869, from the records. If You were to send in some quality pictures I’m sure there is a whole lot more the Good Folks here could tell You

Here are some pictures of Joe’s 66.   I asked Joe to send a picture of the barrel address.

If he sends pics  of the barrel address, it will be much easier to supply correct info.  This carbine is right in the middle of the transition era serial numbers.  This number could have a Henry marked barrel or a Winchester marked barrel.  I don’t  know what information he’s  looking for.  I think he needs to be more specific, so we don’t  have  to guess as to what info he’s  asking.  The photo of the ammo is nice, but the pile of loose rounds are not intended for the Henry or the carbine in question.  They don’t  even need to be included.  Are the boxes full of ammo?  Are all boxes full 50 rd. original  .44 Henry Flat, or is some of the ammo missing?  A lot of unanswered questions.

He is looking to sell it and doesn’t know what its worth. He is going to take some better pictures this weekend.

Here are more pictures from Joe.  Nice gun but not the early Henry marked barrel.
