He said she brought it to the door to show him. It's possible (speculation on my part) that she knew he was a fellow gun enthusiest either from prior conversation or from seeing him at a local range.
I agree about it not being a "survivalist" weapon. I think rim-fire cartridges were just being introduced about the time of the civil war. While rim-fire cartridges are still being made in quantity for small calibers, they are more difficult to buy for larger sizes. Reloading isn't possible for rim-fire. I think the Henry reproductions are made to shoot center-fire cartridges. I don't know if it's possible to convert an original Henry to shoot center-fire cartridges, but even if so, it would probably greatly diminish it's value as a collector piece.
