I have an old Harrington & Richardson 32 Cal revolver that I would like to know the date of manufacture and model number, if any. Also, I would like recommendations on what type of current production ammo. I should use.
On the top rib of the 3-inch barrel is "Harrington & Richardson Arms Company. Worcester, Mass, U.S.A. Pat. Oct. 8, 1895". On the left side of the barrel is: "32 CAL S&W CTGE". This is a nickel-plated gun with a blued trigger anf guard. Serial number is 176973. 973 is stamped on the ejector end of the cylinder. Cylinder is 5-shot. Grips are two-peice black hard rubber with square targets inside circles on the top ends of both sides. It has no hammer. You have to open the gun like an old double-barrel shotgun to load it. Cylinder has an ejector for the shells that activates when the gun is opened. Thanks for helping me, if you can.
