PRE WAR HI-Standard with outstanding crisp rifling and mirror bore with beautiful wood target grips and strong checkering. This was the top of the line from HI Standard of the time. Target sights, heavy barrel, crisp light adjustable trigger. A real dream to shoot. A beautiful example of the Model "E" - Manufactured between 1938 and 1942.
Note that the pistol was stored in a holster during its life and hence the browning of the barrel end - does not affect performance at all. I tried to take as many detailed photos as possible so you can see every angle. Please feel free to contact me if you desire more images or a specific location to photograph. Out of State payment must be received within 5 business days. Payment via US Postal Money Order only - no exceptions.
Some history on this Pistol...
In 1926 as the High Standard Manufacturing Company, in New Haven, Conn., when C.G. Swebilius and three other men began the manufacture of gun barrel drills. At that time the firm had three employees. In 1932 the firm acquired the Hartford Arms and Equipment Co., of Hartford, Conn. This firm had developed and produced a single-shot pistol, a repeating pistol, and an automatic pistol. Although this firm was in operation for only about two years it appears that they made a few thousand pistols, judging from observed serial numbers. There were at least two models of the automatic pistol, differing, however, only in the weights of their barrels and in the types of grip plates used. The failure of this firm enabled the High Standard company to buy their tools, equipment, etc. at a bankruptcy sale.
The first HI-Standard pistols produced naturally bore a close resemblance to the Hartford. The early Model A, however, was provided with an adjustable rear sight and some dimensions were changed slightly redesigned with a slide take-down lever being incorporated on the right side of the frame in place of the old style lever located on the left, just back of the safety. A, B, D, E as the last during pre-war production.
Mod. E was derived from Mod. A by using an extra-heavy barrel and grips provided with a thumb rest. With the 63/4-inch barrel the total weight was 42 ounces as against 36 ounces for Mod. A. Mod. H-E was the same as Mod. E except that it had an external hammer (thus the 'h' in H-B and H-D models) and no thumb safety.
All of the above-mentioned (except Mod. H-DM ) are pre-World War II models and all were discontinued in 1942 because of the advent of that war.
In 1943 the firm developed and produced a .22 caliber automatic pistol for military training, and this was given the designation Mod. U.S.A.-H-D, and following the war (in 1946) this became Mod. H-DM (or H-D Military Model) and manufacture of this model for the military ceased in 1951.
