Outstanding Smith & Wesson New Model No. 3 Single Action Revolver with Relief Carved Mexican Eagle Grip

Excellent, retaining 98% original high polish blue finish with slight flaking turned brown on the cylinder and light muzzle side wear. 95% original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger guard. The grips are exceptionally fine with some minor handling marks, some chipping near the top (left panel), typical age lines and crisp carving. Mechanically excellent. A highly attractive New Model No. 3 with equally attractive carved Mexican eagle grip.
