Description:
Sometimes referred to as the Model 3 Russian, this gun was manufactured between 1874 and 1878 and was offered in both.44 Russian centerfire and .44 Henry rimfire calibers.  This gun in .44 Russian caliber was very popular world wide, and copies were made by Ludwig Loewe & Co. in Russia and at the Russian government arsenal.  Rimfire 44 Henry's were made under contract for the Turkish government by Smith & Wesson, in addition to the 41,000 that were made under Russian contract.  Several famous wester gun fighters and lawmen, including Pat Garrett, are believed to have carried this model.  This S&W, in the 43xxx serial range, was sold by Schuyler, Hartley & Graham of New York, as were many of the handguns of the 1870-1880 period.  This gun is in excellent condition, retaining 90% of its original bright blue, very good grips and a perfect bore.  As the pictures show, is has had very little wear.  A great specimen with no problems.     PRICE:  $6,950    2% discount for cash or check payment.  We are Antique & Modern Firearms in Lexington, KY, dealer of fine firearms since 1974.  PH. 859-276-1419   We Buy, Sell and Trade.
