Rare Early Harrington & Richardson Automatic Vest Pocket Semi-Auto Pistol
serial #11, 25 ACP, 2 1/8'' barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing a little mild frosting in the grooves and strong rifling throughout. This is an extremely rare First Model 25 auto with the slightly shorter frame and slide, the slide with squared-off ends. The first 20-25 of this model are generally considered to be prototypes by advanced collectors. The metal surfaces retain about 85-90% original bright blue showing scattered high edge wear and light handling marks, most of the loss due to silvering to pewter gunmetal patina along the right-side edges. The triggerguard remains mostly bright while the safety lever retains a hint of fire blue and the trigger shows nice case-hardened colors. The markings remain strong with the left side of the slide showing ''H.&R. AUTOMATIC'' designation, rather than the later ''Self-Loading''. The black checkered hard rubber grips remain in near excellent condition showing some mild edge wear. The serialized parts are matching and one original magazine is included. A fine and rare example for the advanced H&R or Webley collector. (13B11777-64) {C&R} [The Richard Littlefield H&R Collection] (1800/2200)
