Any other NM #3 with target sights is just that.

Ralph,
ANY New Model 3, FACTORY EQUIPPED AND SHIPPED with Target sights, " IS " a "New Model 3 Target" variation, being ordered with Target Sights.
I might agree that if target sights were installed afterward, it would be "just that" (a New Model 3 with target sights added).
Same goes for a 1899 Target. Any 1899 shipped with Target sights was by special order only is a 1899 Target variation.
PS: Too bad that .32 Winchester doesn't letter as same. Did you try S&WHF for shipping documents ? Sal
