H & R Arms Corp question

Question
Hi, I have an H & R Arms Comp, Worcester MASS pistol from my great grandfather.   THe top left barrell says
32 S & W  CTGE
YOUNG AMERICA
DOUBLE Action

It has a black handle with scroll work, the rest of the gun is silver.  It has an octagon barrell, 5 holes I believe.  Do you have any information as far as age ?  Or, do you know anyone that knows about these guns ?  Thanks !

Answer
Hi Barbara.

Your gun was made by Harrington & Richardson. Here is some basic info about the manufacturer:

You can look your specific gun up in the blue book and purchase the blue book value data if desired. Here is the link to your data:

The blue book also publishes some serial number data to help determine the age of certain firearms although the H&R guns may not be included as they were quite common and usually have very little value. Here is a link to the serial number section:
