Description:
VERY LIMITED PRODUCTION NEW MODEL NUMBER 3 FRONTIER MODEL IN .44-40 CALIBER, SERIAL NUMBERED 1-2072, THIS ONE IS #1XX. Of the original 2,072 of this model, 786 were converted to .44 Russian and sold to Japan. That leaves only 1286 New Model No.3 Frontier Revolvers in .44-40, making this one of the hardest to locate and most desirable of the big single action S&Ws. This example is mainly a gray/brown overall with tight action and matching numbers on the cylinder, frame, lever catch, barrel and on the inside of the factory fancy checkered walnut grips. Fine bore is a little dark but ought to scrub out about excellent. Fine, un-chipped and un-cracked grips show a bit more wear on the right panel which is typical when worn in a holster on the right side with that grip exposed. This example has the long 6 ½” barrel.  These were produced from 1885 – 1908. Obviously, by serial number, this is a very early production revolver. An S&W historical letter might prove interesting on this one. This distinct model doesn’t show up often!
