Description:

A later production example of the 2,072 New Model 3 Frontiers manufactured from 1885 to 1908. Remains in original .44-40 WCF configuration with rare 4 inch barrel. The barrel has the two-line address/patent dates rib marking and "44 WINCHESTER CTG" caliber marking on the left side. Matching serial numbers on the butt, right grip panel, cylinder, barrel, and barrel latch.

Rating Definition:

Fine, retaining 70% original blue finish thinning to a brown and high edge wear. 60% original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger guard. The grips are also fine with minor handling marks mostly on the bottoms and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically needs work as cylinder only locks when the hammer is in the cocked position. Provenance: Dr. Gerald Klaz collection.
