My father bought my 39A in about 1952. Might have been '51. I wouldn't trade it for a new Henry even if there were no family connection. Now, if I were buying current production, the Henry would likely get the nod. I'd really like to have one of their .357's, but dang they are heavy. I keep my eye out for an old Marlin.
