Harrington & Richardson .32 S&W DA H&R First Variation

This is a fairly scarce Harrington & Richardson six-shot  .32 S&W double action (DA) revolver. This is the exposed hammer DA first variation. These were manufactured between 1895 and 1896. The patent date marking on the top rib is Oct. 4th 1887. Serial # 931X. It is a top break revolver with double top post barrel latch. Has a standard 3″ inch barrel. Bore has very good rifling, but with a bit of pitting. About 95% original nickel with typical age speckling and some wear at the muzzle. (See photos.) It operates well in both single-action and double-action modes, but the lock-up is a slightly wobbly, as the hammer is coming down.  The extractor works perfectly. The original black gutta percha checkered grips are in nice condition. A great little Federally-exempt carry gun. (PBP-532) $395
