What's Included
- Harrington & Richardson Young America Double Action Second Model .32 S&W revolver
This Second Model is consistent with H&R's smokeless-era production, built on a solid-frame, small-frame design. It is a double-action revolver with an exposed, spurred hammer and a five-shot cylinder secured by a pull-pin for removal.
The 4.5 inch octagonal barrel pairs with fixed sights: a half-moon front and a fixed notch rear. The topstrap is marked "YOUNG AMERICA DOUBLE ACTION," while the left side of the barrel reads "H&R ARMS COMPANY WORCESTER, MASS. U.S.A." over "32 S.&W. CTG."
The revolver wears a nickel-plated finish and a bird's-head grip profile fitted with black checkered hard-rubber panels. These features reflect the compact, carry-oriented pattern of the Young America line.
Chambered in .32 S&W with a 5-round capacity, this example retains the period-correct configuration and markings. The serial number is located on the butt.
