For Sale: New Haven Arms Henry Rifle, SN 7516 — Accepting Offers|Winchester Swap Meet|Forum|Winchester Collector

I am selling my New Haven Arms Company Henry rifle, serial no. 7516, brass-frame Second Model, 1864-65 production range. This gun has matching barrel/lower tang/stock inlet/inside buttplate serial numbers, correct late features, crack-free stock with Henry bump, cleaning rod present, old later sling, and an unidentified lower-tang factory-style touch mark (&). Serial number is adjacent to known 3rd U.S. Veteran Volunteer Infantry Henry rifle serials but is not presently documented to that unit.

Many of you have contributed some fine observations around this gun and it was recommended by another member that I offer it here to the WACA members prior to taking it through an auction of consignment process. 

Please PM me for a complete valuation/comp packet as well as for more/detailed high resolution photos.

Starting estimated value: $28,000 OBO
I would prefer to sell this rifle to an appreciative collector, so reasonably-made and valid offers will be considered.
