Auction on gunbroker that I have a question about involving a .32 H&R top break.
There is no writing on the left of the barrel, but the cylinder is a 6 shot and has the length to chamber a .32 S&W Long. As we know lacking any cartridge writing on the left side of the barrel for an H&R means it's not rated for smokeless, but .32 S&W Long was mainly a smokeless cartridge for most of it's existence, so can I assume if any H&R revolver is chambered for .32 S&W Long that it's also meant for smokeless loads?
The gun looks fine, no pitting or rust, and the bore looks spotless. I would have a hard time believing the gun has only ever seen black powder shot through it, it looks like only smokeless ammo has been.
Still, I'm not sure, I'm leaning towards believing it's capable of shooting smokeless because it can chamber .32 SW Long.
Here's auction pics:
