H&R 922
I have a 922 which does not have much collector interest or value as the original grips are missing and the original 10 inch barrel has been shortened. However, serial number may be of some interest. It has serial number of 121369. Based on other threads I've read, this seems to be quite early in production. I can provide photos or other documentation if interested. I'm interested in any feedback.

I have a H&R 922 model in fair condition (white, marble-ized, plastic grips) with the serial number N49441. Would anyone tell me the approximate value and about when the gun was made? Thanks for you help. 0 -
It's a 2nd Model, made in 1953 ('N' prefix in s/n). It is the first year of production of the 2nd Model (1953 - 72). The Model 922 was first made circa 1925-26 and went through a number of variations (about 8) from then until 1952 - when the frame configuration was changed to a more "modern" style. What you have is that more "modern style" frame with a square butt or rounded butt on the 2.5" barrel - which takes 2 piece plastic (nylon) grip panels. Earlier 1st Model pieces had a curved or bird's head shaped grip frame that took a one piece grip.
Not much else to tell, except they were one of the most popular sellers for H&R and that's why they lasted so long in production. They were intended to be strong, simple and low cost (that sounds abit like one of the girls I used to date...)0
