This is the Harrington and Richardson building. A gun making factory. They used to test the machine guns there while I was playing baseball at Beaver Brook park. You could hear them firing. Around 1969.

This was a fine building. I was told once that during WW2 there were searchligts on the roof. It was being razed for a Burger King that never hapenned. It was even getting a second chance as the bottom floor was renovated for hip clothing store etc. In the picture above there is/was a Mister Donut to the left that would be closed for renovation constantly yet it never changed... Behind the white pick up was a pancake place (Holiday pancakes?) that my family went to after Church in the 70's. The back lot had a tiny Al-Bums for a few years too. I now own a few rifles and pistols that were made there including a stunning 45.70 rifle.

I brought some captured pistols home from the war in Germany 1945. I brought them to Harrington and Richarson to test fire them.One was a Polish 9mm.Walthum. quite similar to the US .45 pistol.Many of our M-1 Garand rifles were made at H & R. for use in WW-2.

I have recently been given a H&R, 4" barrel length, .38 S&W CTGE thats located on the left side, serial #71059, 5 shot. I would like to know the history of these pistols and if the police or army used them for their services. Can modern ammo be used in this pistol? Why is it Hammerless? FYI on this pistol. This is my Great Grandfathers service pistol while he was a security guard in Canada. He passed away and left the pistol to my grandfather, and he used it on his farm to uthanize animals and scare away predators. My fahther and uncle used it for target shooting. It is the only possession left of my Great Grandfather.

Remember the sounds of H&R as we often road past the factory in the 1950's and 19560's. Always noise of machines 7 days a week on 3 shift's, making parts and once in a while the gun fire testing sounds. A best friend Raymond Morris worked there after graduation from Wentwort Institute, I sure would like to hear from him. If you know of Raymond please contact me at jim28518@yakoo.com

My grandmother lived on the Abbott St. side of H&R for many years. I was always fascinated by the building. The room that I slept in faced the building. It sounds quaint-but remembering that building recalls many wonderful memories of visits with my grandmother.

I have a revolver that I know nothing about. It's silver w/black covers on handle. Barrel is six sided and has engraving on the top "H & R Arms Company, worcester, Mass U.S.A." Above cylinder is reads "H&R DOUBLE ACTION" immediately below this it reads "model 04.32.6 SHAT". Not certain about the period after the four, and not absolutely about the spelling of SHAT. Does anyone have any information on this pistol? I'd love to know more about it. It was my father-in-laws and possible his father's.

I have a Victor 22 rim fire revolver that i purchased and would like to find out some information on it. The serial number it has is 17127. I think it might be a model that Harrington & Richardsons put out back in the early 1900's but not sure. Any information that anyone can provide would be appricated. Thanks

I am interested in what happened to the machines and tooling from the plant. Also, what happened to the prints/plans. I would be interested in taking the best ideas they had, combining with some modern manufacturing and materials, and coming out with a newer version of the most popular model(s). Does Freedom Group through Remington through Marlin through NEF own them? Thanks.

My great grandfather gave a Harrington and Richardson Arms Co. 6 shot .32 s&w CTGE (marked on the left side of the barrel) hammer-less revolver to my grandmother, who gave it to my mother. Curious if someone might know the year it was made. The top says; first line "Harrington & Richardson Arms Co., second line "Worcester Massachusetts U.S.A." I believe it has a 3" barrel. The serial # is on the butt of the gun, 168873, with the 873 on the chamber. If anyone has information on this, it would be amazing!! Thank you :0)

I have a shotgun i found that im trying to figure our what it is. It says harrington & richardson arm on the left side with worcester mass usa pat 1900 under it. The number on the barrel is 320407 and the number behind the trigger is a320407. Its a single barrel but the barrel is cut all the way down to the wood forgrip and i dont think it has the correct stock. Does this gun have any value and if so what.

josh d if the barrel is under 18 inches in lenth you have 2 choices find a new barrel or get rid of the gun under 18 inches is a felony. but if its marked 1900 that might have been the year it was made I believe

I am in South Africa and have been given to understand these guns were given to officers as a "DRESS" Weapon in the war. I just know it's quite old. Does anyone have information on this hand gun please ?
