Mr. goforth,
I don't find a reference for my H&R on your website . Mine is a
" H & R Automatic " ( left side of the barrel ) in .32 cals&w stamped on the right side of the barrel. The serial # is 513897, found on the butt of the revolver.
Can you provide a bit of a history lesson here...please.

    this is a late production Third Model H&R Auto-Ejector. serial number of the third model starting about 1906 were in one series stating at 101 and going to over 700,000. serial number 513897 was manufactured about 1927. there are no known factory serial number records for any pre1940 H&R revolvers so dates of manufacture are based on known examples.

    in my up coming book this revolver will be listed as a third model 5th variation (1925-1941) serial number range 493,000 to 730,000. i will have a serial number listing per year but with out knowing exact numbers (factory records) these will simply be educated guesses based on known examples.
