Antique HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON 2nd Model Revolver
2nd Model, Fourth Variation Double Action Auto Ejecting Revolver!
Here we present a Harrington & Richardson Top Break Double Action Revolver chambered in .32 S&W made in Worcester, Massachusetts circa 1894-1896. In 1875 Gilbert Harrington and former Frank Wesson employee, William Augustus Richardson, formed the new Harrington & Richardson Company. In 1888 the firm was incorporated as The Harrington & Richardson Arms Company. Their original capital investment was $75,000. Harrington was president, Richardson was treasurer, and George F. Brooks was secretary. This 5-shot revolver would have been ideal to keep in a pocket or a small holster for self-defense in the turbulent early 20th Century. In fact, in one famous incident, Alessandro Berardelli was an armed guard transporting the Slater-Morrill Shoe Company payroll in Braintree, Massachusetts on April 15, 1920 when he and another employee were ambushed, robbed and killed. Berardelli was carrying an H&R .38 revolver like this one. Two Italian immigrant anarchists, Nicola Sacco & Bartolomeo Vanzetti, were arrested and the guard’s gun recovered from Vanzetti. Both were found guilty, though controversy haunted the convictions and anarchists retaliated by killing scores via bombs, most notably the Wall Street Bombing. These men and select events were memorialized by folk singer Woody Guthrie, who was sympathetic to their cause.
This 2nd Model, fourth variation has a 6-shot cylinder capacity with a 3 ¼ inch barrel, along with being an auto ejector. There is no caliber marking on the left side of the barrel, indicating is was manufactured for black powder.
The overall condition is fine. 98% of the original nickel finish remains. Case colors are vibrant. The markings are clear. The numbers match. The trademarked “target” hard rubber grips are in great shape. The bore is clean with nice rifling. The action is excellent.
