Welcome to the Forum. That is one fine looking Model 3, 1st Model revolver!! There were only 8,000 made and lots less exist today in any condition, but few in the condition you are showing. I do not doubt your claim that the gun has been refinished, but would like to ask how you know that?? To me, the lack of usage dings and wear is an indication that the gun was always kept in fine condition. Whether it is refinished or not that is a striking revolver. from probably the first year of production, 1870! The screws look almost un-turned and would like to know the condition of the chambers and bore?
