The Henry Golden Eagle is a .22 S/L/LR lever-action rifle whose nickel plated receiver carries an engraved eagle in 24K gold (Henry part no. H004GE). The engraving shows an eagle in flight with its wings spread, set in high-relief 24K gold against full 19th-century scroll with Golden Eagle in banners on both sides. The 20-inch octagon barrel, brass bead front sight and adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight are standard Golden Boy equipment, and the tube magazine takes .22 Short, Long and Long Rifle cartridges. It is a rimfire for plinking, small game and the gun-room wall alike, with a walnut stock. It comes from Henry Repeating Arms, a maker that builds its firearms in the USA.
