Manufacturer: Harrington & Richardson Type: Shotgun Model: Topper Caliber: 20 GA Barrel Length: 25.5" Optics: Iron Sights ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes Log: 4143 S/N: HS219519 Ref #: 1083397 Notes: A Harrington & Richardson Topper 20-gauge single-shot shotgun with a 25.5-inch barrel, silver-toned receiver and black-finished hardwood stock and fore-end. The compact break-action arrangement, exposed hammer and simple bead sight reflect the Topper line’s longstanding role as an uncomplicated American sporting shotgun. The blued steel barrel is marked for 20 gauge and a 3-inch chamber. A brass-colored bead supplies the front sight, and the single trigger sits within the rounded trigger guard. The side-mounted action release and exposed hammer keep the principal controls distinct and readily recognizable, while the hinged barrel gives the single-shot design its characteristic open-breech layout. The smooth wood furniture has a rounded pistol-grip wrist and slender fore-end, finished in black to complement the barrel. A black H&R-marked buttplate and pale spacer finish the stock. The bright receiver provides a contrasting center to an otherwise dark exterior, with the Harrington & Richardson name and Gardner, Massachusetts markings identifying the maker. H&R’s Topper family belongs to the familiar tradition of affordable single-barrel field guns. The 20-gauge chambering places this example within a versatile sporting gauge long used for upland birds, small game and informal clay-target shooting, without the bulk of a repeating action or additional barrel. The stock and fore-end show handling scratches, scuffs and areas of thinning black finish. The receiver remains generally uniform in color, and the barrel has light finish wear.
