Description:
 SHOULDER STOCKED NEW MODEL No.3,  7" BARREL, .44 RUSSIAN CALIBER REVOLVER, #13XXX. This fine revolver falls a few numbers out of the Australian contract shoulder stocked guns which numbered about 250. These guns were nickeled and had broad arrow proof marks etc. as one would expect. Apparently, some that were shipped to Western Australia lacked these proofs. This one is either one of these or perhaps is a cut for stock overrun that was sold commercially. A factory letter would prove interesting on this one. The shoulder stock is in factory new condition and comes with the original green S&W box with excellent end label and even the thin inside wrapping paper intact!  The revolver itself retains most of the original nickel finish with scattered small spots of peeling. There is good blue on the barrel latch, the bore and markings are excellent and all numbers match. The grips show normal light wear/handling. All cut-for-stock New Model No. 3s are exceptionally rare whether commercial or Australian contract. This is a truly fine set!
