Seems like there have been a number of these presented lately so please let me join the fold. Last weekend I bought this little H&R 32 S&W. If someone could please let me know year of manufacturer it would be appreciated. This little gem is tight as can be and should be a fine shooter. Buffalo Arms had the BP ammo in stock so I bought a box that should be here soon enough.

Howdy,
That's a very early Premier. I will need to see the lettering on the barrel rib to narrow it down more.
Also, that serial number is a partial number. Remove the cylinder and look under the barrel extension for the complete number.

Nice Mark!! I'm jealous! I've always wanted to play with an old, good H&R, IJ or S&W in 32 S&W or S&W Long.

Thanks @Jeff_French
As requested........

That's a 1st model 3rd. variation Premier. Made 1897 and 1898. Very nice example.
Thanks for showing it.
Jeff

Congratulations! It looks good!
Mine is what got me started here back in 2013. Still never have gotten all parts for it. Was directed to sources but mine is still missing trigger, think that's all.
