H&R revolver - manufacturing year

HI

I have an H&R revolver which is possibly manufactured in the 50s. It is in perfect condition.

I need help in finding out it's year of manufacture. Can someone help me or point me to where I can get this info? I have the serial number

thanx

There are people here who can help, but you're going to need to post some photos. What you've posted is the equivalent of "I've got a blue Ford, can someone tell me what model it is?"

There are some dedicated H&R folks around, but pix are going to be necessary to get some meaningful info.
