    Strange day today.

    So, I went to the range today. Had a problem and my 6906 didn't want to run (but that's another thread). After 12 rounds (12 for the price of 10) I packed it up and went home. On the way home I stopped at a friends for some commiseration (MY GUN IS BUSTED -SOB!) and he pulled out this lil' teeny tiny revolver from a plastic bag on a shelf.

    Its an H&R revolver in .32 cal. Top break and nickel plated. No serial # either. It's pretty rough with some of the plating worn off, pitting, and the bore looks dull and sad. The cylinder lugs for rotating the cylinder are battered beyond belief. The left grip has a 3/8" triangular chunk out of the bottom on the underside next to the frame.

    But, all that said, it locks up tight and rotates into correct timing every time. He has some ammo in both long and short case length. The longer one's are ".32 S&W L" which I've never heard of.

    Anyone know anything I can pass on to my friend about this little revolver? He's not the actual 'owner' and the real owner is thinking on selling it. I believe that the gun is no longer a 'shooter' because of the damage, wear, and abuse it's had.

    Many of these old odd caliber S&W's aren't worth more than $100 in shootable condition.

      Harrington and Richards made a lot of top break revolvers. I used to own a model 999 Sportsman (9 shot. 22 rimfire, topbreak)


      The 32 Smith and Wesson Long was invented in the late 1800's.
