Second Model Engraved Veteran Vols. Henry Rifle
.44 RF caliber, 24" octagonal barrel length, S/N 7343. Blued barrel and magazine tube with engraved brass frame and engraved buttplate. Mottled brown hammer, trigger, lever and 900-yard rear sight with walnut stock. Type 2 barrel markings on top of barrel Henry's Patent Oct 16, 1860 and below is Manufact'd by the New Haven Arms Co. New Haven CT. The engraving on the brass frame and buttplate are period Veteran Volunteer-style engravings. This gun is mentioned in Sword, Wiley. The Historic Henry Rifle: Oliver Winchester's Famous Civil War Repeater. Andrew Mowbray, 2002: 82.
The left side of the receiver is engraved with a scroll border design with F.D. Pease above Bloomfield, Ind., in middle of the scroll. On the front part of receiver are a 2 engraved "Rose of Sharon" flowers with a scroll border. The right side of the receiver is engraved with a patriotic eagle with 2 American flags on each side in the center of a scroll border. On the front side of the receiver is one "Rose of Sharon" flower in center of scroll border. The top of the receiver and buttplate are scroll engraved.
This type of Henry exemplified by the style of (post-war) engraving is consistent with other documented specimens known to have been given to late war members of the Veteran Volunteers as an inducement for enlisting. The identity of "F.D. Pease" and presumption of his military service during the Civil War remains undocumented. HDS and CWSS list only two privates named "F. Pease" with "D." as a middle initial. One is Frank D. Pease who served in the early war three-month 1st Michigan and mustered out in May 1862. The other, Franklin D. Pease, joined the late war 4th Independent Battalion Ohio Cavalry in August 1863 and mustered out in February 1864. At least seven other men named "F. Pease" are listed without a middle initial. Ten regiments of Veteran Volunteers were organized late in the war including one engineer and nine infantry regiments. Only the 1st Engineer and 1st Infantry were raised in time to see any field service during the war and all of the Veteran Volunteers had been mustered out by July 1866. Parenthetically, a Major-Surgeon Frank. D. Pease appears on the Spanish-American War roster of the 1st Regt. North Dakota Volunteers.The barrel retains majority of the blue finish that blends to a dark plum patina. The hammer, trigger, lever and rear site are all a dark but sharp and crisp modeled brown. The brass frame and butt plate have a nice untouched deep mustard patina with a professional repair on the tang. The cleaning rod is missing from the butt plate. The walnut stock has a varnished finish with minor nicks and dings. The engraving is very sharp and crisp. All markings are sharp and legible. The bore is in good condition and the overall condition is very good. This is a great example of a period engraved Veteran Volunteer Henry Rifle.Condition
