HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON “POLICE” Set Top Break .32 S&W C&R REVOLVER
Early 1900s Sidearm w/ Handcuffs, Badge, & Nightstick!
Here we present a C&R Harrington & Richardson Top Break Double Action Revolver chambered in .32 S&W, made in Worcester, Massachusetts circa the early 1900s. This revolver also comes with a set of H&R handcuffs & key in the original box, a set of Gill’s Flash Action Cuffs with the key, a badge for a Special Deputy for Carroll County, Illinois, and a night stick club.
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 6-shot revolver would have been ideal to keep in one’s waistband or 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.
The overall condition is good. Excellent action. The bore is in good shape for its age with good rifling. Both grips are in good shape with less than average wear. Numbers on the cylinder and ejector rod match. The accessories are in great shape and create a mighty fine collector set.
