Ludwig Loewe & Company Copy of the Smith & Wesson Model 3 Russian 3rd Model Single Action Revolver

The German firm of Ludwig Loewe manufactured this copy of the Model 3, 3rd Model Russian revolver that is almost identical to the Smith & Wesson. This German revolver was made under Russian contract as well as for commercial sale. The commercial models such as this one had markings in English. The top of the barrel rib is marked "LUDW. LOEWE & Co. WAFFEN - & MUNITIONS - FABRIK. BERLIN. 6086". The matching serial number is also on the butt and rear face of the cylinder. The right rear of the barrel lug is marked with a "crown/crown/U" proof and the right side of the frame is marked with a double struck "32". The blade front sight is integral , the rear sight is a notch on the barrel latch and it is fitted with smooth varnished walnut grips with "32" on near the bottom of each panel and a lanyard ring on the butt.

ConditionFine as refinished. The revolver retains 99% dull blue finish showing some minor muzzle and high edge wear. There are a few minor dings on the barrel. The grips are very good with a deep 1/2 inch dent on the lower left rear and overall a few minor pressure dents. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
