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.

Hello, I am only the dealer transfering the firemars from this auction, It is from a local guy in my area that is trying it out. He has collected a while and is using a local auctioneer as well. I am not making any profit from the transfers fyi. This auction is not getting much attention and I think it deserves much more attention. Thanks for looking!

One of the reasons it is not getting much attention is the fact that everything has a "reserve" on it.  True auctions do not set reserves on common items.  They simply sell for the highest bid.

Antique Winchester reverse painted, inlaid with abalone, advertising mirror made for the 1893 Columbian Worlds expo by Lewis Comfort Tiffany. 99.9 percent of Winchester collectors are unaware that this mirror exists.  There were only two Winchester rifles embellished and displayed by Tiffany for the 1893 expo. Tiffany did not offer Winchester rifles in there sales catalogs. This mirror was the advertising to help publicize the relationship between the two companies. 
  

What makes you think it’s worth $3,000,999?  Three million can still get you A LOT!
To be honest with you, your mirror was manufactured about 40 or 50 years ago, something you see at a flea market for $75, you negotiate to $50 and still question if you didn’t get burned on the deal.
There’s an almost identical one to yours on eBay now for $345 which hasn’t sold because it’s priced at 5 to 10 times what it is worth.
  

Does this really look almost identical to you?   Are you legally blind? Or just FOS?
  

Yes, indeed, they do look almost identical, the only thing different between yours and the one for $345 on eBay (which hasn’t sold at that price) is the colours used in yours and the one on eBay.  Maybe the one on eBay is the standard variation, and yours is deluxe, add 10% for this less common variation, for example…
  

So the only difference is the colors ? They look almost identical? Do the actual materials used not factor in? What about the actual process of how and when it was made ? You think mine might actually be the deluxe version worth 10 percent more? 

SPF to 426 crown

60 Jamison Brass .33 Winchester as new  $90.00 shipped plastic cartridge boxes not included

83 Hornady  200gr bullets for sale $95.. shipping included

Bore is strong and bright. Hard to photograph but will make an attempt for interested buyers.

Wood is in good shape and fits tightly. No slop in either the buttstock or forend.

Rifle is functional and was test fired with 10 rds of light cowboy loads to verify. Off hand at 30 yards it was stacking holes.

Happy to answer any questions and if I don’t have the answer I will be sure to get it. 

$1425. Rifle is located in Michigan but I am willing to ship.

I don't even know what proof there is that said mirror wasn't made yesterday.
  

Maverick have you read the description that is on the back of the Lucid Lines 1973 remake?  It says " An innovation in antique mirror reproductions presented by Lucid Lines. Fine quality antique designs recapture the nostalgia of the past."  When I read that statement I interpret  it as meaning this mirror is remake of an antique design. Do you interpret it a different way?
