Using original photos and hand drawings of the Gideon Welles Serial Number 9 as reference, the master plate used in the creation of the Silver Eagle pattern was hand cut for production with full coverage on both sides of the receiver cover. The rifle features a traditional 20 octagonal barrel outfitted with buckhorn sights; a gunsmithing masterpiece that closely mirrors the original Henrys when they were patented in 1860. This rifle is lever action, holds 16 rounds and has a Fancy American Walnut Buttstock.
