Description:
Antique S&W NEW MODEL No. 3 Single Action REVOLVER
.44 Russian Caliber with Antique IVORY GRIPS!
Here we present an antique Smith & Wesson New Model No. 3 Single Action Revolver. This revolver is very interesting in that all frames for this model were made by 1898 (even though production was from 1878-1912) therefore allowing this model revolver as a whole to be classified as an antique by ATF standards. In 1877, S&W discontinued production of its other Model 3s such as the American, Russian, and Schofield in favor a new improved design called the “New Model” Number Three. This new model has a longer cylinder allowing it to fire longer cartridges. Standard chambering was .44 Russian, although other calibers were offered on special order or in related models such as the .44-40 Frontier Model, the .32-44 & .38-44 Target Models, and the very rare .38-40 Winchester Model.
Smith & Wesson revolvers, then as now, are some of the finest in the world. Excellently machined, well-proportioned and accurate. It is no wonder why so many records of the era were set with this revolver. Notable shooters and owners of the original No. 3 include Buffalo Bill Cody, Ira Anson Paine, F.E. Bennett, Annie Oakley, Frank Butler, General George Custer and Theodore Roosevelt.
The overall condition is very good. The iron parts are gray with age and use. The markings are clear. The numbers match. The front sight has been replaced and is the only part not original to this revolver. The ivory grips are yellowed with age and emphasize that this gun has been there and done that. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. The action is excellent.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 6-1/2 inches.
