Beginning production in 1921, a total of 54,000 Handy Guns were produced before the National Firearms Act in 1934. Due to their numerous (albeit small) variations, these were found to be popular firearms during their time, and are still found to be quite popular with collectors today. The left side of the case colored receiver is marked "H&R HANDY-GUN", with the right side bearing the Harrington & Richardson two line address. The blued barrel is marked "MADE IN U.S.A. 410 GA. CHOKE" over the chamber. Chamber measures 3 - 1/2". Matching numbers include the frame, barrel, and forend. Brass bead front sight with notched rear sight on the receiver. This gun is interesting in that it lacks the spur on the rear of the pistol grip, that is commonly found to stabilize the Handy Gun in the operator's hand, instead rear of the grip bears two holes in order to affix an H&R wire stock. Wood furniture is comprised of a smooth walnut forend and a checkered walnut pistol grip. Pistol grip is marked "H&R ARMS COMPANY/ WORCESTER, MASS. U.S.A./ PAT. PENDING".
