Antique FACTORY BOX Nickel Plate HOPKINS & ALLEN Double Action .32 Revolver
19th Century Conceal and Carry .32 Caliber
Here we present an antique Correct Factory Boxed Hopkins & Allen Double Action Revolver in .32 S&W caliber, made in Norwich, Connecticut circa 1890. Hopkins & Allen Manufacturing Company was a major manufacturer of rifles, shotguns, and inexpensive cartridge handguns between 1868 and 1915. After an initial investment of $2000, H & A began operations as a producer of firearms, machinery, tools, and hardware. After the expiration of the Rollin White Patent in 1869, they began converting their percussion revolvers to accept cartridge ammunition. In addition, they started producing a line of spur-trigger cartridge revolvers in .22 and .32 calibers. From its humble beginnings, Hopkins and Allen had grown from a small shop with 30 employees to become a major producer of firearms and an employer of 600 workers. In a state known for firearm production, H & A ranked third only behind Colt and Winchester. Hopkins & Allen continued to manufacture a variety of revolvers and small arms until 1915.
During a time when many, if not most people carried a firearm, these affordable little revolvers were small enough to conceal and carry, yet provide some level of protection or peace of mind, even when the town did not allow firearms within its limits. Plus, not everyone carried a Colt Single Action Army. This would have been a nice “Conceal & Carry” gun.
The overall condition is excellent. Original nickel finish has been preserved. Robust, tight action. Fine grips. The markings are sharp. Bright, rifled bore. The factory box is in good shape.
