I just purchased an old H&R 22 caliber revolver and I have been trying to research more about it with little success. My snag is that the serial number does not have any letters, only numbers. It has either 5 numbers (53278) or possibly 6 numbers with the first two stamped on top of each other (573278). It has 9 cylinders, double action, 2.5" barrel, two piece black plastic grips, blue finish, center pin pull, solid frame, (and I think a transfer ignition bar. The hammer is flat on the back and the firing pin is built into the frame).
It does NOT have an all-in-one cartridge ejection.
Here is what is stamped directly on the gun:
Left side of barrel "MODEL 922" "22 CAL."
Left side, under cylinder "H&R INC. WORC. MASS. U.S.A."
Serial number is on the butt end, the numbers are fairly large and poorly lined up.
It looks a lot like the gun pictured at this link.

The only visible difference is that my gun does not have the small line located about 1/4" in from the end of the hammer.
I would appreciate learning anything you can tell me about age and history. Thanks so much!!!
