there are no known serial number records available for this model. so i can't give you an exact date but most likely late 1920's or the early 1930's.

MODEL 1906 SMALL SOLID FRAME DOUBLE ACTION.22 RIMFIRE CALIBER ----1905-1941
7 shot cylinder capacity, pull pin cylinder release, nickel finish (blue optional), 2½, 4½ or 6 inch barrel lengths, hard rubber Target Logo grips, marked with company name and address on left side of barrel and on top strap in two lines “H&R MODEL 1906 22 CAL. R.F.”
After 1930 listed in catalogs as: H&R MODEL 6 DOUBLE ACTION No. 96 .22 RF CALIBER 7 shot
VALUE: 100%=$185 60%=$65

Is it OK to shoot modern ammo in this gun?

Thanks for the info!
