Description
The first Deluxe Engraved run sold out fast, and serial number one brought $83,000 at the NRA Foundation auction. The second edition disappeared just as quickly. This 3rd Edition gives collectors another shot, capped at 1,000 rifles with each one wearing its own dedicated serial number between BTH0001D3 and BTH1000D3. That number range alone tells you what this rifle is meant to be: a piece you register in the family record book, not just the safe inventory.
Engraving That Earns the Deluxe Name
The hardened brass receiver is polished to a mirror shine and cut with patriotic artwork on all four panels. The right rear panel carries a flying bald eagle with the U.S. shield across its chest, talons gripping olive branches and arrows, and a banner reading E Pluribus Unum in its beak. The left rear panel answers with a Revolutionary War collage of cannons, drums, flags, and swords. American leafy scroll over a dot-pattern background ties the panels together, and a dart border frames each one. Engraved 1860s period Henrys are among the rarest and most sought-after lever guns in existence, and this edition recreates that presentation-grade look with modern manufacturing behind it.
A Real Original Henry Underneath
Strip away the artwork and you still have a faithful New Original Henry built in the USA on Benjamin Tyler Henry's 1860 pattern. The toggle link lever action feeds from a 13-round tubular magazine, and the 24.5 inch blued octagon barrel with a 1:36 twist is a natural match for the .44-40 WCF cartridge. A blade front sight and folding ladder rear keep the sighting arrangement period correct, while fancy American walnut and a brass buttplate finish the package at 9 pounds and 43 inches overall.
Why the 3rd Edition Deluxe Won't Sit Around
Two sold-out runs set the precedent here. Whether you missed the first two editions or you're working on collecting all three, this is a shootable heirloom with the paperwork pedigree to back it up. Once these thousand serial numbers are spoken for, that's the end of the run.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many Henry Original Deluxe Engraved 3rd Edition rifles were made?
Production is capped at exactly 1,000 rifles, each with a dedicated serial number running from BTH0001D3 to BTH1000D3. The first two Deluxe Engraved editions both sold out quickly, so this third run follows the same limited format. Once all thousand serials are gone, no more will be produced.
Is this rifle safe to shoot, or is it strictly a display piece?
It's a fully functional New Original Henry underneath the engraving, built on the 1860 toggle link design and chambered for modern .44-40 WCF ammunition. Plenty of owners do put rounds through theirs, and the 24.5 inch octagon barrel with folding ladder rear sight shoots the way an Original Henry should. That said, many buyers keep these unfired to preserve collector value, so it comes down to how you want to enjoy it.
How do you load the Henry Original Deluxe Engraved 3rd Edition?
Like all Original Henry pattern rifles, it loads from the front of the tubular magazine rather than through a side loading gate. You rotate the muzzle sleeve, compress the follower, drop cartridges into the tube, and close it back up. It holds 13 rounds of .44-40, the same generous capacity that made the 1860 Henry famous.
What does the engraving on the H011D3 depict?
All four receiver panels are engraved with a patriotic American theme. The right rear panel features a flying bald eagle with the U.S. shield on its chest and an E Pluribus Unum banner in its beak, while the left rear panel shows a Revolutionary War collage of cannons, drums, flags, and swords. American leafy scrollwork over a dot-pattern background fills the panels, with a dart design border framing each one.
