Being new to the S&W addiction, I have purchased a few of the new firearms. Mod 57, 586, 19comp. I've come across this S&W at a local auction house and have attached pictures. The auction house doesn't know the model or caliber. Can someone please give me any information? Thanks.

1st Model DA (#3)
44 cal
early 1880's

Welcome to the Forum. The revolver is a S&W .44 Double Action 1st model No. 3 New Model Navy. Caliber is .44S&W, an obsolete blackpowder round. The gun is considered an antique by the BATF and can be bought & sold w/o Fed. Transfer paperwork., if the auction is in the USA. The serial number, 1020, is listed in the manufacturing logs as made July 6, 1881. If the gun is mechanically sound I would estimate auction price at approx. $1500-$1800 range. Ed

I would never have guessed that value. Thanks for the info. I'll need to go inspect it next week.
