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. Chamber is 2 1/2 inches with a full choke. Fitted with a smooth forend and a checkered pistol grip stock with a pronounced web spur.

Very fine. 99% professionally restored blue and casehardened finish remains with sharp markings, and some light handling marks. The grip and forend are very fine with crisp checkering, and some small dings. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is registered as a National Firearms Act (NFA), AOW (Any Other Weapon). Although NOT a fully automatic weapon it is still controlled like a NFA weapon that is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 478.
