Nice 3"er. Looking for one myself. $400 - $500 here in California.
Looks like British proof marks on the cylinder.

You just posted! Or are you asking how to post pictures? If the latter, hit the button marked reply and as you are typing your reply you will see a section below the text box called "Additional Options." This allows you to post pictures from other servers or from your own desktop. Remember pictures from your desktop must be shrunk to 250 mb or smaller to post.
To mhksmk,
Welcome aboard with a very nice first post! From those pictures it appears that about the only firing that revolver has experienced was when they proofed each chamber of the cylinder! I agree with Mickey D that it would easily bring $400 to $500 if it is as nice as it appears, perhaps even more. I don't know about gun prices in India of course, but I would not expect it to be available there as readily as here. Congratulations on a fine acquisition!
Regards,
Froggie
PS Let me add that I enjoy shooting that caliber and have several S&Ws so chambered. Of course I wouldn't use it on Bengal Tigers or the like, but it is a comforting piece to have on my concealed carry permit. One nice thing about those little guys, like small dogs they gain a lot of respect from the noise they make!  I don't feel "undergunned" in an urban or suburban environment with mine, but would go with a larger caliber for the pursuit of game larger than vermin.

This gun costs approx 12500 USD in India? Gun laws here are absurd.
