Frank Wesson, brother of Daniel B. Wesson who co-founded Smith & Wesson, started a firearms manufacturing firm in 1859, sharing an early patent with Nathan Harrington. Wesson produced two trigger rifles and spur trigger pistols and pocket rifles/shotguns popular for short length holster models such as the discontinued topper compact pocket shotguns. He started a brief partnership in 1871 with Harrington's nephew Gilbert Henderson Harrington, as Wesson & Harrington, until Harrington bought him out in 1874.
H&R model 504 .32 magnum large-frame, bull barrel, SA/DA swing-out cylinder possibly the same gun as the NEF R73. Made in the transition period. I have this revolver, S/N BB034356 (Edit: H&R serializes year of manufacture by letter prefix. "BB" = 1985).
H R Model 732 Serial Number
H&R produced muzzle loading firearms under the Huntsman and Sidekick models, during two different periods. The first period of muzzleloaders used a push in style breech plug and was available in 12-gauge, .58 caliber,and .45 caliber. After reports of hang fires causing injuries and mishaps this model was discontinued in the late seventies.
The Huntsman name returned on a newly redesigned muzzle loading rifle in the mid-nineties, there were two models produced in this period, marketed under both the H&R and New England Firearms brands as the Huntsman and the Sidekick. Both were based on the new threaded breech plug design; the Huntsman had the same lug pattern as the Pardner Shotgun and Handirifle lines produced at the time allowing for the Huntsman Barrel to be fitted to those actions while the sidekick had a shorter lug to pivot pin distance. The difference in the barrel lug position made the Huntsman applicable to standard firearms laws requiring a background check as centerfire and shotgun barrels could be exchanged on the same receiver, while the Sidekick was considered a muzzle loading firearm and did not require a background check for purchase. The Huntsman and Sidekick models were available in blued and stainless finish, fiber optic sights, and 24" or 26"(magnum) 1 in 28" twist barrels.
Note that all of this revolver's markings are on the left side (apart from the serial number, which is on the bottom of the grip frame), and they are quite minimal. Model number, cartridge, manufacturer's name and country. It doesn't even specify the city, because in 1966 they didn't have to. (Didn't technically need to have serial numbers, in fact, but most reputable manufacturers did them anyway.) Over on the right side, there's nothing at all, apart from the H&R cartouche on the grip.
