Original Henry Rifle Cartridge
Picked this up at a gun show today....no idea if it's rare or not, just wanted one. The collector guy only had the one in the case.

Re: Original Henry Rifle Cartridge
Pretty cool to have. makes ya wonder how many Henry (and other) partial, or full old cartridge boxes are out there. I have a few old classics but nothing particularly rare or valuable. Well one sort of - an old nearly full box of Remington 'Rustless' .33 Winchester ammo.

Re: Original Henry Rifle Cartridge
That .44 is still a formidable chunk of lead to get hit with....wonder how many frontier critters, 4 legged or 2 were taken down with those.

Re: Original Henry Rifle Cartridge
You can bid for an entire box of 50 Winchester 44 Rimfire with an H stamp and in its original cardboard box on Gunbroker today. It's estimated at $3500 -- give or take.RanchRoper wrote:Picked this up at a gun show today....no idea if it's rare or not, just wanted one. The collector guy only had the one in the case.

Re: Original Henry Rifle Cartridge
they are scarce and expensive but, occasionally, you still see a few around .... as a bit cheaper option, there are 3 "Empty-Reproducton-44-Henry-Rim-Fire-Ammo-Boxes" on ebay listed for only $21 each ... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Empty-Reproduc ... SwTM5Ytyoa .... just think how nice it would be to have one to keep your bullet in ..

Yeah, I’ve got a spare 3500 sitting around somewhere. Dang, where did I leave that ?

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Re: Original Henry Rifle Cartridge
Ya, maybe not....I found this link that talks about early Winchesters and their ammo, interesting read. The bullet I have is called a ".44 Henry Flat" cartridge. Some were pointy. I paid $15 for the bullet. Can't have a Henry 1860 and not have a .44 rimfire bullet to keep it company.

Re: Original Henry Rifle Cartridge
RR --- Based on CT's comment re. cost of 50-rounds of this ammo on GB, that would translate into $70/bullet, give or take.
So at only $15 for your bullet, I'd say you got a pretty good deal! :*)
I think I'll stick with my .22LR caliber Henry carbine for now.

Re: Original Henry Rifle Cartridge
At the gun show today there was an abundance of Winchester lever guns too. New, not so new and some marked a late 1800's. A guy could really go nuts spending money if he had any.
There was one these new in box as well...tempting, it sure was a shiny rifle!
