Actually I hadn't even realized this myself until very recently and I came across someone on another forum pointing this out. Then again it wasn't until I started looking at getting a reproduction that I paid such close attention to it in the first place. It's funny too, because earlier in this thread the same picture is used as an example that a Henry is being used. Hard to tell from this picture but it does kind of look like the magazine and barrel are not one piece of metal which is what you would expect from a 1866 and not a Henry. No visible magazine follower as well, but then again this is not the best picture.

No visible magazine follower as well,

There will not be a mag follower with a side gate loader.
In the 'early days' mod 73s were commonly used as prop guns with the foreshocks removed to resemble Henry's.
I was at a gun show a few years ago and a dealer had a couple modified 73s for sale that had a movie production company name stamped on them.

Understand, and I was just trying to point out the various things that were either not present or present that would make it something other than a Henry.

Watched the Man from Laramie the other night and there's a lady in a wagon the breaks up a fight early in the movie with her Henry rifle. An actual Henry, no side load gate and the mag tube follower.

One of the old Gunsmoke movies, I think it was The Long Ride James Arness uses a real Henry. I just watched it last night. They are playing all James Arness movies and shows all this month on INSP.

Watching the last season of Longmire a short while ago.
His daughter was given one as a present, then ends up using it to safe herself and another girl.
She has trouble loading it, looking for the loading gate but finally figures it out.
