SOLD - Harrington & Richardson .32 Caliber Self-Loading Pistol

Description

7/5/22 - This is a very nice example of an H&R .32 Caliber Self-Loading Pistol manufactured in the early 1900's. The H&R .32 is an unlocked-breech gun with the slide cut away on top to serve as an ejection port. A single coil spring with guide rod is mounted in the upper portion of the slide to dampen recoil and return the slide. Unlike the H&R .25 and all Webley & Scott auto pistols (its predecessor), this gun is striker -fired; it is a true hammerless pistol with an unusually large and heavy striker. The barrel and slide are held in place by a lug on the front of the trigger guard, which fits into a cut in the bottom of the barrel. The gun has a grip safety, a magazine safety, and a manual safety lever that locks the trigger. This one has retained roughly 80% of its original high polish finish. The majority of the finish loss is on the front strap and trigger guard. Minor wear around the muzzle and high edges of the slide. There is pin-pricking along the slide and most notably on the rear grip strap. Comes with excellent period-correct H&R grips and one nickeled magazine. The bore is excellent with strong rifling.
