Hello, The frame and grips are Harrington and Richardson.

I am not sure if the barrel is original from the photo.

Could we get some more photo's ??

What Caliber is the pistol ? ?

It is unclear to me if that is a hammer, or a latch keeping the barrel locked.

Also I cannot tell if it is shadows, or if the frame has damage as the picture is unclear.

Good Collecting, Signalman
Guns have only two enemies, rust and politicians.


I am still looking for ANY information regarding the European Use of the Original Costons flares from 1859 through 1881. Photo's, Patents, contracts & orders, ANY INFORMATION IS NEEDED ! !
