This grip fits several revolvers made by the Hopkins &
Allen Company, including the early Merwin & Hulbert round
butt spur trigger 2nd model pocket revolver, certain models
of the Forehand and the Forehand & Wadsworth revolvers with
the same size grip frame, and possibly other brands.
Since there is no brand logo other than a dog's head on
the grips, and since Hopkins & Allen purchased or manufactured
several brands of guns, you may find a large number of
top break and solid frame revolvers which can use these
same grips, and which may in fact have done so originally.
The brands produced by Hopkins and Allen included
Merwin & Hulbert (which
was a distributor but owned a 50% interest in H&A at one
point), Forehand, Forehand & Wadsworth, and a vast array of
"trade branded" models which were manufactured using H&A
facilities and patents, but were marked with the name of
the distributor (or any dealer placing a large enough order
to warrant having their own brand on the guns).
This grip may in fact be considered a kind of "original
generic", since so many variations of round butt revolvers
made by H&A either originally used this design, or could
use it as a replacement. Merwin & Hulbert usually did not
have any logo on their grips. Most of the grips simply have
a plain circle with a pebble or checkered pattern in it,
and no indication of branding. Some of the Merwin & Hulbert
revolvers are marked as "made by Hopkins & Allen" or say
Hopkins and Allen on the barrel, while at the same time
saying "Merwin & Hulbert" on the frame.
Here are the dimensions to compare with your gun frame:
- Width across top ears (A) = 0.9 inches
- Overall height to base (B and E) = 2.38 inches
- Width across flat part of base (C) = 0.9 inches
- Width just above the flat base, widest section = 1.1 inches
- Height to front ear from base (D) = 1.8 inches
- Step width (H and I) = 0.1 inches
- Height of round top above line between ears = 0.25 inches
- Width across screw hole center parallel to base = 1.1 inches
- Rear edge to screw hole center (G) = 0.55 inches
- Height of screw hole center (F) = 1.1 inches
- Narrowest part of upper grip area = 0.9 inches
Please be sure to measure carefully before ordering. If
there is any doubt about the fit, send a tracing around
your original grips, or make an index-card cut-out (template)
which fits your gun like the grips, and mail that to me.
If you do, be sure to check the box so I will wait for it
to arrive.
