 I have an old 5 shot revolver that my grandfather gave to my dad 40+ years ago. My grandfather found it buried when he was doing some demolition work in Lawrence Kansas. It is not in great shape, and I have searched and searched trying to figure out exactly what it is.
 It is a top break 5 shot revolver. It has alot of corrosion, but I am about 95 percent sure it is a Harrington and Richardson. It appears to have been either nickel or chrome plated and most of the plating is gone.
 I believe it to be a 32 but my 9mm shells nearly go into it. Possibly a 38? It is a double action non self ejecting. The information on the top of the barrel appears to be stamped Harrington and Richardson Worchester Mass. USA. The rest of the info is illegible. On the left side of the butt under the grip it appears to have 582 stamped in it. Under the top where the break latch is, it appears to have 392 stamped into it. The barrel is approximately 3 inches long.
 I will clean it up some more and get pics.
 Any info about when it was made and what caliber it is for sure would be appreciated. I know it has little value, but it has sentimental value to my dad since my grandfather gave it to him. 
M1: Harrington & Richardson was assigned serial number ranges 4660001 through 4800000, 5488247 through 5793847, and 400 rifles numbered from 6034330 through 6034729. The major components, such as the barrel, bolt, hammer, operating rod, safety, and trigger housing were stamped with a numeric drawing number and the manufacturer's initials. Serial number is AG6205. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a Harrington & Richardson Topper Model 158 410 Shot Gun the Serial Number is AH213522. I would like to find out when the gun was manufactured and how much the gun is worth.

H&R OFFICERS MODEL SERIAL DATE?
Posted by Steve on Saturday, 16 July 2011, at 3:28 p.m.
Harrington & Richardson Serial Number LookupHi, I just traded for an H&R Officer's Model 1873 Trapdoor. Although I've tried looking all over the internet, I can't find any info regarding serial number to determine a manufacturing date. I have the North Cape Publications 45-70 Springfield collectors guide, and that has plenty of date info regarding original Trapdoors, but I can't find anything about the H&R or other 'new' repro trapdoor manufacturing dates. Like I said, it's an H&R Officers Model 1873 Trapdoor 45-70 and it's serial number is 1868. Seems like a pretty cool number considering that if it was only 5 digits higher it would match the model number. I don't know if it would make any difference as far as value goes, but to have a model 1873 with an 1873 serial number would seem to be kind of special. So I'm wondering a couple of things. First, when H&R started making these did they start with serial number '0' or '0001' or something like that? And does the serial number mean it was the 1868th Officer's Model that they made? Or maybe the 1868th Model 1873 they made? And finally, how many 1873's did H&R make and how many 1873 Officer's models did they make, and what year was serial #1868 made? And was this number part of a limited edition group? I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but if I could get answers to any of them I would be very grateful. Also, if anyone knows someplace where I might find this info or any other info regarding the new made trapdoors, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for anyone's help. Thanks! Steve
