any markings? other identifiers?

About a hundo dollars. Looks like a H&R in 38 S&W.

Has the look of an H&R or an Iver Johnson.

I can't really make out the image in the circle at the top of the grip, but it appears to be the "target" which suggests that this is a Harrington & Richardson. The 5 round cylinder indicates it was chambered in .38 S&W. I have one of these in nickel plate, but this one appears to be blued (which I like better, personally).

These were some of the S&W copies made after the copyrights expired. Other manufacturers of similar models were Iver Johnson and Forehand Arms. I got my H&R .38 for about $200, and I've seen them go for more or less depending on lockup and condition.

The downside is that you should use light .38 loads due to the fact that this is a break-top. I load my own .38 S&W and have had no problems. Yours looks like a really nice representation of the model. You can actually still get parts for these at Numrich Gun Parts.

Check out the auctions for "H&R" or "Harrington & Richardson" in gunbroker or auctionarms to get a better idea of the price range. You will also see a lot of these chambered in .32, but the .38s are generally worth more.

Also, look at the copyright info at the top of the barrel to get a better idea of when this revolver was manufactured, since it may or may not be an antique. There are websites with good info to help determine dates. Good luck!

Remember that 38 S&W is different then Smith & Wesson 38 SP.The cases are different and so is the bullet size.

Thats a H&R small frame

If it is not marked on left side of barrel do not shoot with modern ammo

H$R's made before 1900 do not have the caliber marked on the barrel

These were designed for black powder rounds and the steel is much softer than the later models

buy 38s&w ammo and pull bullets to reload with BP

I am refurbishing a 32 right now ($35 gun show purchase - very rough)

nice looking piece of history
