Harrington & Richardson "Handy-Gun" Single Shot Smoothbore Pistol, BATFE Registered "Any Other Weapon"

Produced in the 1920s and 30s as an inexpensive and effective way of dealing with varmints at close ranges. Sales of the H&R "Handy Gun" and similar weapons were severely restricted with the implementation of the 1934 National Firearms Act. Bead front and frame notch rear sights, with "MADE IN U.S.A. 410 GA.CHOKE" on top of the barrel, the two line address on the right side of the frame and "H.&R. "HANDY-GUN" on the left. Fitted with a smooth forearm and a checkered pistol grip stock with a pronounced web spur.

ConditionVery fine as partially refinished with 75% of the original blue finish showing a streak of bright gray along the left side, mild spotting and scattered handling marks. The refinished frame is fading a bit on the edges and underside with vivid blue and purple colors around the barrel. Wood is very good with a few dings and scuffs. Mechanically very good. NOTE: This is a smoothbore pistol, an "Any Other Weapon" as defined by the National Firearms Act and registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in accordance with said law.
