Introduced in 1881, and also known as the "New Model Navy Number Three". Blade and notch sights, with the two-line address and patent dates on top of the rib. With "+44 S. & W. CTG+" on the left side of the barrel, and a small S&W logo on the right side of the frame. Fitted with a fluted cylinder, casehardened hammer, trigger, and trigger guard with dished rear face. Fitted with checkered S&W logo grips.

Very good, with 80% plus of the original blue finish. Showing areas of brown patina along the high edge, with scattered spotting and handling marks. The cylinder is mostly a mottled brown patina with strong original blue retained in the flats. Around 30% of the original casehardened finish is visible on the hammer and trigger, with a mixed brown and silver patina on the remainder. Grips are very good, with a slightly lighter color on the right panel and minimal handling marks. Mechanically very good.
