Mr. Hauff, I've enjoyed your posts on H&R top break revolvers, of which I've learned alot about the following revolver that I've recently inherited from my uncle. The H&R revolver is a .38 cal, 5-shot, top-breaking, 3.25" barrel, nickel-plated, "target-logo" black handle, spurred hammer, w/five patents on top-side barrel dated from Oct 4.87 to April 7, 1896.S&W top-break query.(Reader Forum): An article from: American Gunsmith

The serial # is "G65 558", stamped both on the handle butt and above the cylinder. Based on your previous posts, I believe this revolver to be a 2nd model, 5th variation from 1904. I need your assistance in identifying the manufactured year, approx. value and ammo type for this firearm. Should I even attempt to fire this gun? Happy Holidays!
