Description:
WESSON & HARRINGTON NO. 3 .32 CAL. Rimfire pocket revolver 5 shot single action spur trigger revolver , bird’s head butt with 2 5/8 ” octagon barrel. Long cylinder pin with ejector rod. Spring loaded button type cylinder pin release. Fluted cylinder, iron frame.

Condition: Nice bore with some minor spot pitting from black powder use and still showing strong rifling. Original rosewood grips are in excellent condition still retaining most of the original varnish and are numbered to the gun. Metal surfaces retain most of the original bluing on the barrel and cylinder. Mechanically works excellent in single action in both half and full-cock position. Appears to have very good timing and tight lock-up. The original hammer spring was snapped near the bottom. I glued the piece together for accurate sizing and I’m sure a gunsmith can manufacture a new one if needed or have that one welded ? . All original and complete with matching numbers on frame, barrel and cylinder.
The Revolver also comes with a presentation case and 5 rounds of vintage .32 Rim Fire ammo as seen in the photos.
