Harrington & Richardson Top Break Double Action Revolver .32 S&W with 3 Inch Barrel
Description
This Harrington & Richardson Arms Co. top-break double-action revolver is chambered for the .32 S&W cartridge and is equipped with a 3-inch barrel featuring a fixed half-moon front sight and an integral rear notch. The revolver retains a blued finish and is fitted with a five-shot cylinder featuring an automatic extractor. The frame is mounted with two-piece checkered black hard rubber grips, which display a target-style logo at the top and floral motifs surrounding the grip screw. Verbatim barrel markings on the top rib read HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON ARMS CO. / WORCESTER, MASS. U S A. The left side of the barrel is stamped 32 CAL. S. & W. CTGE. Serial number 325600 is clearly stamped on the butt of the grip frame. This model represents a common late 19th and early 20th-century defensive handgun design produced in Worcester, Massachusetts. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The original blued finish shows significant and widespread wear, appearing largely thinned to a grey and plum patina with scattered areas of surface oxidation and pinprick pitting across the frame, cylinder, and barrel. The bore and cylinder chambers show carbon fouling and debris; rifling remains visible but is somewhat obscured. The checkered hard rubber grips remain intact with minor smoothing to the texture and light handling marks, but no visible cracks. The action appears to function in both single and double-action modes, and the top-break latch secures firmly, though mechanical function has not been live-fire tested.
