A great issue, I always enjoy receiving the publication. I just finished reading all the articles this morning, thank you to all the authors!
Bert’s article on the model 55 made me think about the really nice one I missed out on a few years ago.

I’m in agreement, and thanks for the pictures, and contributions, from all who have taken the time, to help add to the calendar!

I am intrigued with this Henry Rifle that Tim Tomlinson so kindly shared with us, in a picture on the cover of this fall’s Collector Magazine.

Tim,
I did not realize, that fact that the side plates, (which we are aware of the fact that they are thinner), could be a different color in the appearance of the Bronze/Brass look!
Any facts or information that you would be willing to add would surely be like and appreciated by me, as I’m sure by others also!
Thanks for showing us that fine Henry!

To all, recommend the book on the Henry by Les Quick, page 50. They tried a different alloy for frame and side plate. The example in the book is same color
as well. Tim

Thanks Tim, for that information.
I’ll pull mine out and check page 50 in Les book. For some reason I didn’t remember that.

Tony, no worry. Hard to recall ANYTHING at the right time. I am no metallurgist but would guess the sideplate alloy for that small group had more tin. If anyone knows, it would be interesting.
