Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1071:
Description
This lot features a single Harrington & Richardson (H&R) Model 923 double-action revolver chambered for the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. This nine-shot capacity firearm is configured with a 6-inch barrel and features a plated finish on the frame and barrel, contrasted by a blued or blackened nine-shot cylinder. The revolver is fitted with brown marbled “Tenite” plastic grips featuring the “H&R” logo within a circle. Sighting is provided by a fixed front blade and an integral notched rear sight. Verbatim barrel markings include “MOD. 923” on the upper line and “H&R WORC. MASS.” on the lower line. The serial number “K10101” is clearly stamped on the front strap of the grip frame. The Model 923 was a solid-frame variation of the H&R 922, identifiable by its plated finish and was produced starting in the late 1940s. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The revolver displays a plated finish that remains largely intact with scattered surface scratches and minor specks of oxidation visible on the frame, particularly around the hammer, trigger guard, and cylinder release. The blued cylinder shows a visible turn line and thinning at the leading edges. The Tenite grips are in good condition with minor handling marks and no visible cracks. The action appears to function correctly in both single and double action, though it has not been live-fire tested. The bore was not physically inspected.
