SOLD - H&R Automatic Ejecting Revolver - Second Model, First Variation

Description

7/13/23 - This is an antique Harrington & Richardson 6-shot Automatic Ejecting Revolver, chambered in 6 shots of 32 S&W or 32 H&R Long (a now obsolete black powder cartridge). The features of this revolver indicate it is a Second Model, First Variation, manufactured between 1890-1892. Specifically, there is an external ejector button on the underside of the barrel-frame hinge that can be used to manually return the ejector. This is only found on the First and Second Variations of the Second Model Automatic Ejecting Revolver. The barrel markings also confirm that it is a Second Model, First Variation revolver. Full serial number marked on underside of barrel top strap as 093842. Frame is marked with last four digits of serial number (3842) under the grips. Grips are both matching with serial number 3842 scribed on inside grip panels. Matching last three digits of serial number (842) marked on cylinder and extractor. Mechanically functions fine. Single action is surprisingly light, and double action functions well. Timing is strong, with minimal play on the chambers with the trigger fully depressed. Ejector and manual ejector button work perfectly. Barrel snaps shut strongly, and the cylinder release latch button also functions perfectly as designed.
