Description:
Antique HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON .38 SAFETY HAMMER Double Action Revolver  

Early 20th Century SELF DEFENSE Revolver

Here we present an antique Harrington & Richardson Safety Hammer Revolver, made circa the 1890s in Worcester, Massachusetts. This interesting little double action revolver was made for concealed carry self-defense in the early 20th Century. It holds 5 shots of .38 S&W with a 2-1/2 inch octagon barrel. The most unique part of this revolver is the bobbed hammer, which is knurled on top so that one can cock the hammer, either for use in single action mode or to put into half-cock for loading and unloading. The patent date on the revolver’s hammer in April 5, 1887. “SAFETY HAMMER DOUBLE ACTION” is marked on top of the frame.

This handgun was similar to the standard Young America, but its lack of a hammer spur was considered the “Safety” in that it was touted as being less liable to catch on clothing when being drawn.

The overall condition is good. Original nickel finish has been preserved. Strong action, with some cylinder wiggle when locked up. The bore is dark. Fine grips. Markings are legible.  

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 2-1/2 inches.

Caliber: .38 S&W
