H&R .38 Hammerless. Date of birth?
Hi all, I'm looking for the date of birth of an H&R. Sorry I can't post the pictures. My photobucket link says "*********" ( the auction site) and apparently that is a banned word here.
It is a .38 Hammerless. 3 1/4 inch barrel. Nickel plated serial number 162726 Top rib says "HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON ARMS Co" "WORCESTER, MASS. U.S.A." Thanks for any help! Last edited by Twaits; 05-31-2011 at 04:27 PM.. |

Twaits,
With that serial number in th 160K range and that exact barrel rib stamping, your LARGE FRAME HAMMERLESS 2nd Model is a 4th Variation and was made circa 1913-15. Here's a pic of a fairly rare configuration:

Jim,
Thank you so much. You're always such a big help. I can't wait to get the H&R book when it's available so I can stop bugging you  |

twaits,
You, as always, are welcome - thanks for thanking. I'm sitting here thinking how useless I'm going to feel when the Bill G. H&R Book finally hits the shelves.
