Description:
VERY FINE CONDITION HOPKINS & ALLEN "X. L. DOUBLE ACTION" .32 CENTER FIRE REVOLVER, MADE BEFORE 1896. The top strap of this example is stamped with the early "Hopkins & Allen MFG Co." marking which helps to date it as in 1896 the name was changed to Hopkins & Allen Arms Co. While not in the same category as the big makers like Colt Winchester, S&W etc., it is interesting to note that at its peak H&A was the third largest arms manufacturer, behind Colt and Winchester. Their products (aside from the Merwin & Hulbert revolvers which they manufactured) were inexpensive, but solid, functional and of good quality. Most found today show lots of carry wear and often abuse. This example with 2 7/8" octagon barrel and matching serial number 2XXX under the barrel and on the rear face of the cylinder is in remarkable condition. It retains nearly all the bright nickel finish with only some very small peeling at the lower portion of the back strap and a spot or two on the rear of the cylinder. The sides of the hammer show good case color, the action is fine, the bore about excellent, the loading gate is intact and the grips are excellent. All markings are on the top strap and are clear with the last patent date of 1886. A popular Victorian Era handgun.
