The
Henry Rifle is recreated in exacting detail with "A Nation Reunited: The Civil War
Tribute." The world-renowned gunmakers of Uberti have gone to great lengths to
faithfully capture this masterpiece of American firearms engineering as it existed in the
1860's.

On the right side, Generals Lee and Grant sign the peace agreement in the
front parlor of Wilmer McLean's house at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. The
likenesses of these two giants of history comes alive in this highly detailed image
featured in gold and nickel with an elegant blued background.

On the left of the receiver, a typical Civil War battle unfolds. A
Confederate regiment streams over a split-rail fence, following the
"Stars-and-Bars" standard in an assault on Union defenders. The detail in
the uniforms and ordnance, combined with lifelike positioning and expressions of the
participants, creates a compelling "snapshot" of combat. The image has
been created in nickel and gold, and highlighted with a blued background.

Decorated
For Valor
|
| Like the original Henry's, the frame of the
Tribute is made of brass, with a handsomely blued half octagonal barrel, with tubular
magazine in one piece forged steel, measuring 24 1/4 inches in length. Fully functional
and made for use with.44-40 caliber ammunition, the rifle features an authentic elevated
sight on the breech of the barrel, and walnut stocks.
Nickel and 24-karat gold decorations commissioned specifically
for this issue by the United States Society of Arms & Armour, the Antique Arms
Affiliate of America Remembers, capture the Civil War era at the height of battle and at
its conclusion.
On the left side of the receiver, a battle scene unfolds, while
on the right, Generals Lee and Grant sign the documents which will bring the war to a
close. On both sides of the receiver, a bugler brings his horn to his lips, first to sound
the charge and then to sound "cease fire." Every day, the Civil War soldier's
life moved to the sound of bugle calls, from reveille to taps with a dozen calls a day in
between.
Completing the museum-quality refinements to the Henry's
design, the lever and butt plate, carrier block and magazine follower, are polished and
clad in 24-karat gold. The Tribute faithfully recreates one of the most important examples
of American firearms design, enhanced with specially commissioned artwork to create an
heirloom that will be treasured for generations.
