Henry Repeating Arms presented a limited-edition rifle to retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady, whom the company calls America's most decorated living veteran. The presentation took place during the NRA Foundation Banquet and Auction in Dallas, Texas. Henry Repeating Arms's press release covers the event.
What Was Announced
Andrew Wickstrom, president of Henry Repeating Arms, presented a New Original Henry Silver Deluxe Engraved rifle to Brady at the May 16, 2024 event. The release dates the announcement to May 20, 2024. Henry describes the rifle as the crown jewel of its catalog and the company's way of thanking Brady for his service.

What It Means for Gun Owners
This is a commemorative piece, not a catalog release. Only 1,000 were made, and the release does not say whether any will be sold to the public. Brady is one of two living veterans to hold both the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross, the nation's highest and second-highest military awards.
Bottom Line
Henry used the NRA Foundation event to honor a decorated veteran with one of its engraved lever-action rifles. The release offers no pricing or sales details, so the rifle's market impact is unknown.
