US REVOLVER CO TOP BREAK 32 W/HOLSTER

The U.S. Revolver Co. Top Break in .32 is a compact, utilitarian revolver designed for concealed carry and personal defense in the early 20th century. Built on a medium frame with a break-open action, it offers quick reloading and simple operation. The revolver features a 3-inch barrel and a five-shot cylinder chambered for the .32 S&W Short cartridge—a low-pressure round originally developed for pocket pistols in the late 1800s.

This model was manufactured between 1910 and 1936, often using surplus Iver Johnson parts, and sold exclusively through mail order. Though modest in appearance, its steel frame was intended for smokeless powder loads, and many examples remain functional today. With fixed sights and a double-action trigger, the revolver was built for close-range reliability rather than precision shooting.
