Henry H001-series all have their roots in a design by the late Louis Imperato, father of Henry Repeating Arms.
First designed by Louis Imperato for Erma Werke in West Germany and produced for Ithaca from 1972-1978. It was then later produced again by Erma Werke for Iver Johnson from 1985-1990. Finally, when Henry was founded in 1996, they acquired the rights to the design and machining from Erma Werke to produce the H001.
While the Ithaca 49 is not exactly part of the lineage, I thought it was a fun comparison to add in.
