Harrington & Richardson first model first variation
I buy and sell a lot of these things as they can frequently be had for not a lot of money and well, I like the damned things. But rarely do I run into any that are any different than the millions of others that were produced. This one however is different. This is a first model, first variation H&R top break. The first one they made only between 1885 and 1886. It had exactly the same extractor mechanism as some of the large frame S&W topbreaks and the Baby Russian which S&W had patented. Therefore H&R had to cease producing these as it was a patent infringement and they then came out with a model that had no automatic ejector but an ejector rod you would push on manually to eject the empty shells.
