ACHTUNG!!  ACHTUNG!!  VORSICHT!!  MEINNEN!!

Per the Tin Types, it is NOT complete.  It be missing the Front Band Which also carries the Front Sight.

Then we consider ............ The barrel threads show wear consistent with having been in a frame.  The dovetail for the rear sight shows damage consistent with having a rear sight drifted in .... and out.  That puppy be a USED barrel.  I would suggest avoiding it such as you might ..... the Plague.

OOPSIES!!  That is, unless you just absolutely must have a funny looking $200 ........ Tomato Stake.

And.... As I found out with my failed attempt, early barrels don't work in later model guns.  The threaded end of the barrel is too short for the stronger, later frames.  I picked up a 44-40 barrel on Ebay (not this one) for $220, and went through some expense and lots of frustration trying to make my recent 45 Colt Henry a 44-40.  As it turned out, it would have cost me more to re-machine the barrel to fit the receiver. I got a refund from the seller, and ended up selling the 45 Henry and buying a 44-40 for just about the price I got for the 45, and the price of the refunded barrle, instead of several hundred to make a square peg fit in a round hole.
