This variation was the last of New Model No. 3s to be introduced. Chambered for .38-40 Win. it was cataloged from 1900 until 1907, but reliable sources report that all frames were made prior to 1899. If true, that would make this model an antique. Finish blue or nickel-plate. Grips are checkered hard rubber or walnut. Barrel lengths of 4" or 6.5" were offered. This model was not at all popular, as only 74 were manufactured in their own serial range 1 through 74. Today's collectors are extremely interested in this extremely rare model. Note: Rarity makes valuation speculative.
