I'm looking for a birth date for a little H&R 32 Self Loading semi-auto pistol. The serial number is 14020.
Does anyone have a source for H&R dates?
Thanks in advance,
Ed

  According to my reference only 34,000+ were made between 1916 & 1924. They were made under license from Webley in England. Weren't popular as compared to Colt,Savage and Remington .32 pistols, so production was terminated.

  Thanks, I read some about it myself. I guess it was too "European looking" for the US market!!
  Was Bill Goforth's book on H&R's ever published? If so, any idea where to buy a copy?
  Thanks again,
  Ed
