Product Description

HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON Hammerless TOP BREAK Double Action C&R .38 REVOLVER

Turn of the Century Double Action Hammerless Revolver

Here we present a C&R Harrington & Richardson Top-Break Double Action Hammerless Revolver in .38 S&W, made circa the turn of the century in Worcester, Massachusetts. 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, .38 S&W revolver would have been ideal to keep in a pocket or a belt-holster for self-defense in the turbulent early 20^th Century, or possibly even law enforcement. Its hammerless design makes it smooth and less prone to snag on the draw, just what one wants when concealing.

The overall condition is very good. Original blue finish. The right side of the gun has a bit less finish due to how it was stored but there is no pitting. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The bullseye trademarked grips are in nice shape. The numbers match throughout.

This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
