Idenify an H&R Revolver
Hi Bill, I rechecked the numbers again and there is nowhere on this gun that has a 4 digit number...I took another photo of where you were telling me to look and the number 227 is there also. The number on the cylinder is 927 by the way...Does this make the revolver more rare and possibly more valuable? Thanks, granny

it is rare but H&R's are not bring a lot of money at the present. don't expect to put the grandkids through college and you might have to wait until the right H&R collector comes along for it to bring top dollar. just because i have never seen a second variation with such a low serial number usually only means one has not shown up yet. with no factory records available the actual number of the first variation produced will remain unknown. H&R also was known for not letting any parts go unused. below are the values.
