H & R Arms Pistol

[Tat683]

I am trying to locate information about a pistol I recently secured. It is a .22 with a barrel approximately 12 inches long. On the barrel is stamped H & R Arms Co. Hunter Model. Also have a number on grip 173705. Anyone have any info on this firearm? I can't locate anything with my internet research.:banghead:

Only thing I can find with the info given is a Harrington and Richardson Hunter .22 10 inch octagon barrel,9 shot made prior to 1942

Thanks for the suggestions. I wanted to include a photo but it will have to wait till Monday. Batteries always dead when I really want to use the camera.
How does one properly measure the length of a barrel. It is a 9 shot but the barrel is very slim and round. On barrel light engraving
