A one-of-a-kind New Original Henry Deluxe Engraved Edition Rifle sold for $47,500 during a live auction at the 1st annual Big Blue Bash hosted by Law Enforcement Today at Mar-a-Lago on Veterans Day.
The rifle was created and donated by Henry Repeating Arms, one of the country’s leading firearms manufacturers.
Proceeds will benefit the Federal Law Enforcement Officers (FLEO) Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit serving 30,000+ members of the FLEO Association and their immediate families with expedited financial relief when tragedy occurs in the line of duty. The foundation also awards $80,000 in scholastic awards annually to assist children of federal law enforcement officers seeking a college education.
The exclusive “Presidential” Henry features the Seal of the President of the United States engraved on both sides of a polished brass receiver surrounded by ornate scrollwork inspired by the 19th-century masters of firearms engraving. It was built as a faithful line-for-line reproduction of the historic 1860 Henry, the world’s first successful repeating rifle. Its custom serial number, TRUMPDJ4547, pays tribute to the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. The winning bidder will also receive a hand-built, velvet-topped walnut tabletop display.
Bidding escalated as the auctioneer described its unique nature to a crowd of more than 600, including U.S. Border Czar Tom Homan and U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, as well as many decorated veterans.
“This is a showpiece of American craftsmanship, patriotism, and history, all in one. There will never be another like it,” said the auctioneer. “Abraham Lincoln’s Henry rifle belongs to the Smithsonian, but this one could belong to you,” he exclaimed before dropping the hammer to a round of applause.
“Our federal officers and their families need a show of support now more than ever, and it was an honor to build this rifle knowing its proceeds would benefit such a worthy cause,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms.
