The accompanying factory letter lists this special order New Model No. Target Revolver with a 6 1/2 inch barrel in .44 S&W Russian, Paine front sight, adjustable target rear sight, special checkered Russian style trigger guard, blue finish, and checkered black hard rubber grips when it was shipped on October 18, 1896, to Hartley & Graham Co., New York City. This revolver is pictured and identified in Neal and Jinks' "Smith & Wesson, 1857-1945" on page 190. This very fine special order New Model No. 3 Target also has the one-line Springfield address on the barrel rib and matching serial numbers on the butt, right grip panel, cylinder, barrel latch and barrel. Comes with an extremely rare correct and proper New Model No. 3 box which appears to be original (number illegible). The New Model No. 3 Target was the first Smith & Wesson to come with adjustable sights as a factory standard option, as well as the introductory revolver for the 32-44 and 38-44 Target cartridges.
