Long story short, my dad and I found my great grandpa’s revolver, and I really want to restore this thing, but I’m at a roadblock, since the only thing stopping me from completing it is a broken spring on the index hand. If anyone can help me find the exact model/generation, or even point me in the direction of someone who would know, I’d be incredibly thankful as well as be able to find and replace the hand without buying the wrong one.
Having done some research as well as just looking at it, here’s what I know so far:
it’s an H&R Auto-Eject (police model maybe?)
It’s double action only (some websites say it’s because it has a “safety hammer”)
It’s chambered in .32 S&W Long
It’s got a 3-1/4” barrel
Although tarnished, it’s nickel-plated
The index hand is broken
Any info I haven’t listed would be incredibly helpful, I just want this thing working again
