What's Included
- Harrington & Richardson Model 1905 .32 S&W revolver
The Model 1905 is a solid-frame H&R double-action/single-action revolver with an exposed hammer and spur. Its under-barrel knurled pull-pin cylinder system provides cylinder removal without a top-break or swing-out mechanism, consistent with H&R's compact designs of the era.
The 2.5 inch octagonal steel barrel pairs with fixed sights: a half-moon front blade and a rear notch milled into the topstrap. This compact configuration complements the five-shot fluted cylinder chambered in .32 S&W.
The revolver wears a bright silvery plated finish over its steel frame, barrel, and cylinder. The bird's-head grip frame is fitted with checkered hard rubber stocks featuring H&R target-logo medallions.
Factory markings include "MODEL 1905 .32 CAL" on the topstrap and "32 S&W CTGE" on the barrel. It was manufactured by Harrington & Richardson Arms Co., Worcester, Massachusetts, in the early 20th century.
