Smith & Wesson New Model #3 .44 Cal SN 8888
Heavily altered antique single action revolver with a .44 caliber chambering (likely .44 Russian). Features a cut-down 3.5” ribbed barrel, round blade front sight (made from an 1888 vintage Seated Liberty dime), ‘u’ notch rear sight cut into the “T” shaped barrel latch, smooth trigger, Russian style finger rest triggerguard, knurled wide hammer spur, fluted six-shot cylinder with automatic extractor (not functioning properly), and custom two-piece wood grips with silver S&W medallions & inlayed diamond shaped ivory pieces. Includes a brown leather belt loop holster with brass studs and light carving. The revolver has been cleaned scattered pitting and no traces of original finish. The cylinder appears to be a replacement and shows machining marks in the chambers. Action is in need of repair, the bore is fair and the custom grips are very good. Condition is NRA Fair. ***Antique Firearm***
