Rob Kassab has a pre-production Henry and he also has the first non-engraved brass framed Henry #20.

I’ve seen #17 at an auction a while back and #11 is well documented in various books.

Sincerely,
Maverick

Serial number 1 is brass framed and may still be in private hands. See this thread:

Thats the Briggs Patent with serial number 1. I believe the limited production Briggs Patent guns had there own serial numbers, and is different from the standard production Henry.

But I maybe wrong.
