I think the 95% weapon was made until 1890 but I want to be sure. Thank you very much again.

The last delivery of these to Russia from Smith & Wesson was in 1878. This revolver was probably delivered in either 1876 or 1877. The HK mark was for N. Kuchekevich who started inspecting in late 1875 making this revolver part of the last 3rd Model contracts delivered.
