Vintage Firearms is pleased to offer this rather rare Wesson & Harrington No. 5 Transitional pistol with Harrington & Richardson roll marks. Manufactured between 1978 until the mid 1880s this revolver is serial number 3336, numbered on the frame, barrel, cylinder and grips. The gun uses a Wesson & Harrington No. 5 frame but with Harrington & Richardson 1876 patent date roll Marks with some sources saying about 4,000 manufactured between 1875-1876. This fine example is chambered for .41 caliber Rim Fire and holds five cartridges. The frame, receiver, octagonal barrel and cylinder show 99% factory nickel plating, and the hammer retains 85% factory case color. The bore is shiny and rates 5/10. The screws are excellent and the overall fit and finish is perfect. The cylinder indexes well and the trigger breaks at 4lbs. Wesson & Harrington was established in 1871, the firm’s founders, Frank Wesson (brother of Daniel Wesson, half of Smith & Wesson) and Gilbert Harrington originally produced and marketed spur-trigger pocket revolvers. When Wesson & Harrington dissolved their partnership in 1875, Harrington formed a partnership with former employee William Richardson to form the company Harrison & Richardson, the rest, as they say, is history! These guns in .41RF are scarcely seen and one in such museum condition is rarer still, don’t wait long to add this to your collection. Thanks for looking, please enjoy the photographs.
