Description:

The rifled variants of the H&R "Handy-Gun" were manufactured from 1931 to 1934. Only an estimated 223 were produced and many were destroyed when the shoulder stocked pistols were restricted by the National Firearms Act of 1934. This example is designed to be fitted with a wire shoulder stock (not included). If one of these stocks is fitted to the gun it becomes a NFA short barreled rifle; without one, it is legally a pistol. It is fitted with an undercut Patridge blade front sight, two-leaf combination rear sight, smooth forearm, and checkered pistol grip. The matching serial number is on the barrel, forearm, and frame. The bottom of the grip has the three line address and patent pending marking. Includes a period canvas belt holster.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retains 95% plus of the original finish with some light muzzle wear and some scattered small specks of brown surface oxidation. The refinished wood is also very fine with clearly legible markings, minor handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The holster is very fine with some mild edge wear.
