Harrington & Richardson Top-Break Double-Action Revolver .32 S&W with 3 Inch Barrel
Description
This lot features a Harrington & Richardson top-break double-action revolver chambered for the .32 S&W cartridge. The firearm is equipped with a 3-inch ribbed barrel featuring a fixed blade front sight and a notched rear sight integrated into the top-break latch. The five-shot fluted cylinder is complemented by a blued finish on the frame and barrel. The grips are fashioned from checkered black hard rubber, featuring a circular floral design at the grip screw and a target-style logo at the head of each panel. Verbatim markings on the top of the barrel rib read HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON ARMS CO. over WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS U.S.A. The left side of the barrel is stamped 32 S.&W. CTGE. The serial number 262786 is clearly stamped on the bottom of the grip frame. This revolver is accompanied by a black nylon zippered soft case. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The original blued finish shows significant thinning and wear throughout, transitioning to a grey-brown patina in several areas. There is scattered light pitting and surface oxidation present on the frame, cylinder, and barrel assembly. The bore remains relatively bright with visible rifling, showing some light frosting consistent with age. The checkered hard rubber grips are well-preserved with crisp checkering and no visible cracks or major chips. The top-break action appears to function correctly with a secure lock-up at the latch. Mechanical function has not been independently verified with live ammunition.
