Harrington & Richardson 3rd Variation Hammerless

Does this revolver sell for more than $100? Am I missing something here? You could surely get a whole other revolver for cheap and call it a parts gun. Sell the bits you don't use... Why don't you post a picture and point out what it is that makes it special so we can rifle through our safes and offer you one of these treasures if we happen to find one.

No idea what it goes for, but presumably from other examples a bit more than that. It is actually a friend's gun, who was given it for free. I suspect that the previous owner had the same problem.

My friend is an inveterate tinkerer and would like to get it shooting, but having to buy a complete and working gun to cannibalize would kind of violate the spirit of the project.
 
Back in the day Harrington & Richardson [and other companies like Iver Johnson, etc] made hundreds if not thousands of these top break, hammer or hammerless models in .32 [short & long] and .38 S&W.

Being the "econo" handguns of the day, they all seem to suffer from the same weaknesses of the small parts which inevitably cause failure to operate. Parts no longer made are scarce or non-existent. As it was said, there is a better chance of looking for another example to canabalise for parts [if it hasn't already augered in due to the same parts failure] than to find the exact parts needed to get this one running again.

Springs: Wolff (gunsprings dot com) ships to Canada. They have various packs and spring kits that could work, if you have originals to compare measurements from.

Really, the description does no good, a picture and a caliber would do you much better, and again, a $0 gun which, if your friend puts $100 and 10 hours of work into it, will become a $50 gun. Maybe. It should be 12(7) -- made before 1946 -- though not too many close relatives would be at all excited about getting one of those.
