gkitch - my photo skills are limited, and the pic does not show the barrel contour well.
It IS a tapered 3", and has not been cut - all markings perfectly centered and barrel to frame fitment is as perfect as I can determine, and finish is original and evenly worn.
Shoots and carries great - it's got my curiosity up. Not supposed to exist according to SCSW except for a short reference to '3" special order'.
