Description:
New Model 3 Target Single Action Revolver, matching serial # 1074, caliber .32-44, 6½" ribbed barrel with maker's name and patent dates1865 - 1877 and adjustable target sights, 1 7/16" cylinder, hard rubber grips with monogram impression, was nickel plated and now it is deeply and skillfully engraved in a very unique pattern. In good working order and fine condition. Flayderman's # 5G-134: early variation with patent dates and shorter cylinder. According to Brandt's Handbuch der Pistolen- und Revolver-Patronen: The .32-44 Smith & Wesson cartridge dates back to 1886 - 1887. It was designed when target shooting came into vogue during the 1880's. The assumption that the gap in revolvers reduces the precision was proved wrong by some good target shooters. In December 1886 the marksman Paine was the first to shoot with a S&W target revolver in caliber .32-44
