This old H&A .32 revolver has been hanging in my grandads shop ever since I can remember. I know it’s not worth anything, especially since it’s not in functioning condition. I’d be interested to know more about it though. Serial number is 7942. Any help would be appreciated. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/07/full-67594-394009-img_1249.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/07/full-67594-394010-img_1250.jpeg)

Here is a good write-up on them. Some of them were antiques, but some were also manufactured after 1898 so you can't be sure. H&Ahttps://www.nramuseum.org/guns/the-galleries/innovation,-oddities-and-competition/case-26-the-booming-arms-industry/hopkins-and-allen-double-action-revolver.aspx
