Henry wasn't and isn't really known for shotguns; but in rifles I (and others) would contend the name is up there with the Woodwards, Purdeys etc.
Remember that OQ takes care of quality of gun independently of who's name is on it. I had enough close auction comparables (OQ and CC very similar) for BV1, BV2, and BV3 to feel very comfortable placing Henry in BV2. For three comparable guns for OQ and CC, we can say a BV3 = $1, a BV2 = $1 1/2 and a BV1 = $2. That is to say if you found comparable Henery and Woodward guns you could expect the Henry to have 3/4 of the value of the Woodward (or Boss, H&H, or Purdey).
