The New Model No. 3 Target Model dominated target competitions in the late 1800s, and are found in the serial number range below 4,333.

Fine, retaining 60% plus original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. Slight traces of original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger guard. The grips are also fine with some minor handling marks and some wear along the top of the checkering. Mechanically excellent.
