 I have a early Henry in the 1000 serial number range that has EIG initials and a arrow pointing towards the muzzle end on the receiver and on the barrel.  Has anyone ever seen this before?  The rifle is in poor condition so anything is possible.  Thanks024-800x600.jpgImage Enlarger

Its a British military Broad Arrow proofmark.

Is that very typical for a Henry?  I had never seen that before.  Thanks
