You DO know it was a copy, based on the patents of the Webley & Scott Auto, right ?
The W&S had an exposed hammer, while the H&R is striker-fired.

H&R's were actually guns based on W. J. Whiting patents owned by Webley and Scott. The .32 in particular is virtually identical to a pistol shown in a patent drawing that was never put into production in England. The H&Rs were actually produced under license from W&S.
