A Scarce Antique American J. Henry & son / Philip S. Justice & Co. Philidelphia / US Contract Indian Treaty 45. Cal Rifle in good condition with a dark bore. The action appears to not function properly with heavy grey, brown patina on the barrel and lock. The lock has minor surface rust spots with cosmetic blemishes to the stock. The stock is missing a brass fitting on the cheek piece and has a repaired split at the top by the tang. The stock has fair checkering, and the lock has the correct engraved wild bird scene on the lock as seen with similar contract rifles. The nipple appears to be missing and also appears to have what could be a contract number "61" on the left-hand side stock fitting. The J. Henry & Son and Philip S. Justice & Co., both of Philadelphia were contracted with the U.S. government to provide rifles for annuity and treaty payments to Native American nations in the Antebellum Era (1812 -1861).
