I just bought a pristine SINGLE ACTION H&R Sportsman, later called the 999. It is a 9 shot gun, and the single action is verified by the s/n. The single action gun's s/n started with S, the double action with D. This was the revolver adaptation of the H&R USRA Singe Shot target pistol.
This variation (factory singe action) is extremely rare, and I am sure the 10 H&R collectors on the planet would be very interested. :)
This is the top of the line handgun by H&R and is a surprisingly a very well made high quality target gun.
It is the first variation with the straight non-adjustable front sight and was made in 1932.
The original box is all there, no corners broken/torn, numbered to the gun, and is in need of some minor restoration, like the paper covering of the box is loose in the corners and a few other minor items.
Does anyone have any sources of info or advice on restoring old handgun boxes?
Any advice or direction would be appreciated.
