This grip is for a Merwin-Hulbert 32 top break revolver, but
since so many similar guns were also made by Hopkins & Allen,
Forehand & Wadsworth, and other firms merged, purchased, or
associated with the H&A enterprise, the grip may also be used
for a number of other brands and calibers.
Merwin-Hulbert (and formerly, Hulbert Brothers) was actually
a distributor of firearms and hardware. They acquired a
half interest in Hopkins & Allen, and had guns built by
that firm with their own name applied. The most famous of
the M&H revolvers are those of the twist-and-pull ejection
system, but before these top quality guns were being made,
a number of lower price revolvers both solid frame and
break top design were sold with Merwin-Hulbert branding,
though the actual designs may have been the same or very
similar to another brand built by H&A.
I mention this because this grip may very well have been
used on other guns originally, as well as the M&H. It
certainly looks the same as one of my H&A grips, but is
slightly different size -- so close that you have to measure
and hold them against each other to tell any difference.
So, be sure to send a tracing around your existing grip or
a template made to fit your gun, or else measure and
compare carefully:
- Width across top ears (A) = 0.95 inch
- Overall height (B) = 2.4 inch
- Width across the base (C) = 0.92 inch
- Height of front "ear" (D) = 1.78 inch
- Height of rear "ear" (E) = 2.4 inch
- Height of screw hole center (F) = 0.95 inch
- Width across screw hole center = 1.10 inch
- Height of top dome above line between ears = 0.318 inch
- Front step width (H) = 0.178 inch
- Rear step width (I) = 0.178 inch
- Width across the neck = 0.95 inch
The logo area on this grip is checkered, because Merwin-
Hulbert and Hopkins & Allen could use the same inventory
for different brands of guns, saving money over having to
stock the same size of grip with a number of different
logos. The checkerboard pattern uses larger size blocks
than a similar H&A grip listed, but the difference is
subtle.
You can order the grip with a medallion installed over
the checkerboard area. The 1/2-inch medallions look and
fit best. Examples are the Texas Star and the Gold Cross
medallions.
