The only thing that’ll make a Henry revolver look better is when it is sitting in a holster. Anyone make holsters for it?
Hey now, we have a lot of re-loaders here that would be happy to pay for the privilege of putting those objects together themselves.

Oh Henry
I like the Henry Revolvers. The ones I’ve
seen and inspected were well made; fit
and finish well done.
I eventually get one when they become
reasonably priced.

H revolvers are so UGLY they should be free prizes in Cracker Jack Boxes.

I paid 30 bucks to get an 03FFL and with that I bought Mosins for $29 with free shipping. It also included a bayonet and a leather ammo pouch.
If you wanted to take a chance with their u-fix-ems I bought a few at $16 out the door. They all shot well and rarely were missing more than a couple of screws.

I found one about a year ago for around $750 and said what the heck. I'm a huge Henry fan with most of their long gun offerings and have hunted with them all from .22 to .45-70 for many years. I said why not... it's the "Gunfighter" standard grip. I don't like the Birdshead style anyway.
I found it to be one of the nicest shooting .357's I own, in regards to a gun I'd actually carry outdoors, in the woods, in the weather, fishing, driving the tractor, etc. It's no Python or Match Target anything. It's easily equal to an off the shelf 686, King Cobra, etc though. I'm not talking fit and finish. I'm talking trigger pull, good sight picture (extra front site included to adjust with your loads as needed), accuracy, etc.
I put a set of checkered stocks on it for more grip traction, as the smooth wood was slick for a woods gun where I may be wearing gloves.
The brass frame kinda grew on me the more I handled it. Maybe a little additional weight is why it feels good shooting, even with hot loads. There's a takedown button on the front of the trigger guard that releases the entire cylinder/crane assemble out the front without having to take out screws and is a very nice feature for cleaning.
Overall, I'm pleased with mine. Many don't like the looks. I get that. It's different for sure. The role this one fills is a working tool, that's enjoyable to use.
I only recently learned about the 10 shot .22 but for now, don't think I'll be going after one. My 10 shot Colt King Cobra .22 has become my favorite for that role.
If you're on the Colt Forum, you can find a lengthy review I did of the Henry .357 complete with pictures.
