Decoding H&R serial numbers is not easy and it takes up quite a bit of the H&R book as different models usually have seperate serial number series. Gererally speaking there were three types of serial number series. Pre 1905 (1904 and before) which were more like batch numbers and usually ran from 1 to 99,999.

On some models there was a different series every year. Post 1904 (1905 to 1939) one single series starting at 1 and going into the middle 6 digits (some third model auto-ejecting revolvers have been observed with number in the 800,000 range.

1940 and after letter codes used to denote year of manufacture. Starting with A in 1940 and going to BC in 1986. Caliber markings on the side of the barrel ALWAYS indicate 1905 or after manufacture. When H&R made the switch to smokeless powder in 1905 they started marking the caliber on the left side of the barrel of all their handguns. No caliber markings = black powder, caliber markings = smokeless powder. Please keep in mind that H&R did not alway obey their own rules and there are exception to every rule.

During 1890 though 1904 H&R was manufacturing so many top break revolvers they starting using a letter code after 100,000 had been reached. These letter code were stamped along with the serial number on the bottom of the top strap (the cylinder had to be removed to see this location). The revolver pictured is one of the limited production Hammerless Bicycle models (1899-1920). The caliber markings and 6 digit serial number indicate it is a second model and if in good shootaboe condition it should be safe with modern ammo.

Now at least I can Google on 'Hammerless Bicycle model' to find more information. By the way, my serial number is in the form of 194XXX. Would this be a fairly early example of the second model? The pistol seems to be in good shape so I'll do some shooting with it this weekend. The cost of ammunition is surprisingly high; probably a condition of low demand causing higher production costs.

Even reloading components are expensive. The small frame and hammerless design might lend itself to a deep cover backup gun. I wonder how hot a cartridge could be safely used in it? Thanks again, Dave. The h&r bicycle hammerless model was only listed in the catalogs as a seperate model thru 1920. The 2 inch barrel remained an option on the regular H&R hammerless through the end of production in 1942.

Collectors to day refer to all 2 inch barrel versions as the bicycle model no matter when they were made. The Cleansing Of Bukhari And Muslim From Useless Hadiths Pdf Converter. A serial number in the 194,000 range would be some time between 1915 and 1920. I would recommend firings only factory standard velocity ammo in this revolver and would not try any hot handloads in it. H&R used the AR letter codes in 1977.

I do not have an explaination as to why it does not have the model number marked on the barrel.

Let me see if I can post a picture or two. I'm trying to find out whatever I can about this gun. I was told that it belonged to my wife's grandfather who drove cattle one year. Apparently, his father bought it for him to wear while doing his job (as you can see in the pic, we have the holster too).

I'm in the process of documenting as much as I can about all of my guns so that I have a history of them when they get passed on to my kids. Please review the pics and let me know whatever you can, and thank you very much for the help. It does not look like there are any markings on the left side of the barrel other than the caliber so this would be the premier model fitted with extra cost oversize grips and 6 inch barrel.

During the same time (1925-1934)frame H&R offered this revolver as the H&R TARGET (aka model 766) the only difference was H&R Target was marked on the barrel. By the time the premier model was fitted with a longer barrel and oversize grips the cost was about the same for the two models. The offering of the H&R Target model was just another way to try to sell more revolver. Factory serial numbers are not available for this model so i believe this revolver was manufactured before the H&R Target was introduced in 1924 (most likely 1920 to 1923) below is information of both models.

It is nickel with blued triger guard, Appears to be.22 Short 7 shot. H&R Arms Company, Worcester Mass USA on the 2' octagon barrel No caliber specification.

Serial number under grip is 7XXX. Since there is no caliber designation on the barrel, I believe it to be the Young America Double Action First Model, Third Variation (Black Powder). Although I guess it could be the Second Model (Smokeless Powder). Could someone tell me which model I have and the exact year it was made? The gun is probably 90%+ condition and only cost me $23 so I know I didn't get hurt, I would just like to know I am being accurate with my record keeping. Localnet, i believe you have come to the correct conclusion on this revolver it is a first model 3rd variation manufactured between 1897 and 1904.
