Question on my Hopkins & Allen
I have recently aquired a Hopkins & Allen double action no.6.
I have never seen one of these until my uncle passed this one to me. It is black with black plastic grips. The grips have the letters f & W at he top and below that there is a interstate symbol, at the bottom the number 143 is stamped. This is a six shot 32 calibur pistol with about a three inch octagon barrel.. If you have any other information about this particular gun (year it was made etc.) It would be greatlly appreciated..
Thank you;
Tim

dm,
I thought I could easily help you (I have a couple of H&A's) but I'm having trouble. A few of questions: How is the cylinder loaded - swing out or does it completely detach from the frame? Is the trigger guard held to the frame with 2 screws? Is the frame brass or steel?
No promises man!

Hopkins & Allen bought out the remnants of Forehand and Wadsworth ( another inexpensive revolver manufacturer ) in 1902.
If the grips on your revolver are original, this would be able to date it to the early 20th Century.
Believe the "no. 6" refers to the caliber of the revolver. H & A used the numbers "1 " through "8", to identify their revolvers by caliber.0
