Attic find, no markings. What is it?

Fox123 · Nov 1, 2016

So don't know what this is, friend found in family's attic, no markings anywhere to be found, says cylinder doesn't want to line up properly.

Can anyone identify?

Anything written under the grips?

Fox123 · Nov 1, 2016

I asked him for more photos and to remove grips already will post more photos when I receive them.

It resembles a starter gun to me...

Cap gun or other kind of toy?

Glock.

Actually I think from the triple-knurled cylinder axis pin and the side screw location it is some kind of Iver Johnson.

Looks like an H&R Safety Hammer, but they tend to be marked. The top strap should be marked "Safety Hammer Double Action" and there are usually markings on the hammer or barrel.

It looks like the hammer might be marked from the picture.

I think you might be right:

Yes, you're correct I think. The grips also match the H&R, not the Iver like I initially thought.

The grips do match the American Bulldog line

My mom used to have a .32, like that but with a hammer. Don't remember who made it.

Don't let the media see it, they'll be labeling it an assault rifle.

Or ghost gun

Harrington & Richardson .32 S&W Safety Hammer
Not 100% on the model, but the grip markings are definitely H&R

i think at this point it is a ghost gun, or at least a throwdown gun.

A little sketchy if it doesn't have a serial number

Careful. Might be haunted.

bmorewineguy · Nov 2, 2016

Yup H & R. I have two that belonged to my grandmother and great aunt. They were usually 32 cal but some did come in 38 cal. One says American Bull Dog on the barrel, the other says The American Double Action on the top of the frame.

Looks like an American Bulldog to me. My father has one. Does the cylinder completely freewheel when spun?
