A company called American Legacy Firearms has introduced a limited run of gold plated, engraved, embellished Henry 30-30s to commemorate the 200th year of Illinois statehood. I was looking at it and question some of the embellishments, one of which makes no sense at all. "Mason-Dixon Line". The MD line didn't touch Illinois. Al Capone, prohibition, and Mormon settlers are also featured. I would rather have seen things like Lincoln-Douglas Debate, Chicago, city of big shoulders, Illinois-Michigan Canal (which built Chicago), Carl Sandberg. I guess you have to take the negative along with the positives.
Oh well, it is kind of pretty. Wonder what the cost will be. Only 200 made. "$200 down to start".
Wish I was rich enough to buy one and take it hog hunting.
 
I'm sorry, but Henry is a bit retarded when it comes to "Americana." They try a little too hard IMO.
 
A lot of the Winchester commemoratives booked out for years at less than a plain version of the same model.
 
Saw the pic of the Henry in the electric coop's magazine, "Illinois Country Living".

You might be able to go to "AmericanLegacyFirearms.com". I saw the picture in the "Illinois Country Living" magazine this month.

OP said it was another company doing these, not Henry itself.

I have a policy about commemoratives, none thank you.

I have only had one and that was a Buffalo Bill which I got at a garage sale as a shooter. Don't want any more.
