H&R Young America
I have a mint condition Young America .32, no caliber marking or address on barrel. Marked on top of frame Young America Double Action. Only #682 under grips on frame. Is there any way to determine the date of manufacture, I want to send it to a friend and need to know if it is an antique.

Without caliber marking - it was made during or before 1904. If the trigger guard is nickel plated (on a nickel plated frame) it was made before mid 1897 and an antique. If the hammer screw is flat/even with the frame surface, it is an antique. Picture would help. 0 -
