Description

Up for auction is a Mod 960 .22 Caliber Starter Pistol, manufactured by Harrington & Richardson (H&R), Worcester, Massachusetts. This classic model is marked with the serial number and date code L920, identifying it as being produced in 1951.

The H&R Model 960 line was manufactured shortly after World War II through the mid-1970s - possibly as late as 1976-77. Each pistol features a letter prefix as part of the serial number, which corresponds directly to a year/date code, making this particular example a well-documented early-production piece.

Key Features:

  • Manufacturer: Harrington & Richardson, Worcester, Mass.
  • Model: 960 Starter Pistol
  • Caliber: .22 (BLANK ONLY – NOT A FIREARM)
  • Production Year: 1951 (Date Code: L)
  • Era: Early post-WWII American sporting and training equipment
  • Use: Designed for track & field events, dog training, and starter signal purposes

Vintage H&R starter pistols have become increasingly collectible due to their solid construction, classic styling, and documented production history. This example retains excellent character and is a great find for collectors, trainers, and enthusiasts of vintage sporting equipment.
