Gents,
I was at the LGS today and this gentleman walked in with a pistol to sell. The LGS passed on it at $60 stating that was the going price for one in this condition and advising the seller to put it online. I told him I'd give $60 for it, and I brought it home, complete with holster. I can't find much info on it online. I'm hoping someone here can help ID the pistol. The butt says H&R, Worcester, MA. and the top of the frame says .32 S&W, and has a 4" barrel. I think it's a Victor model due to the unfluted cylinder. Any ideas on what she is? Did I get rooked?
Looking closer at it, it appears the front sight and cylinder pin have been changed. And what's up with the loading gate? Never seen something like that.
This has a 53,xxx serial number. Anyone have any manufacturing timeline data? I couldn't find anything online.
Thanks in advance!
