What a great find! Gun is sought after by MANY! I bought a 13-2 in Sept. Super nice, fired very little. It is a 4 incher. Accurate for me beyond my expectations. Enjoy your 13! Bob

Ha, always with no location. And it took the 3rd pic to be certain it was a 3 inch. But very nice find Bigun. Enjoy.

This Model 13-3 was a very difficult revolver to find here in California! I found it up in the mountains near Placerville.

Nice find!
I bought the twin for my then fiancee`... when we broke it off, she declined to sell it back to me. At the time they were sought after, as they were fbi issue then.
I consoled myself when I bought a 3' M66-2. Still, if I came on a 3" M13 that I could afford, I would.

I have one just like that, nice piece ! I went in to the LGS to buy something else and walked out with that. (after 10 days) I would buy it again if I could. my wife stole it from me, says its hers now. lol The guy that I bought it from said that it was a safe queen, not fired much, yours has the box and stuff, wish mine did.

Yes it is always great to be able to acquire the box etc with a gun purchase....I was just lucky to get the box with my 13-3!

As everyone has said, excellent find. A 13 PC is one of my Grail Guns. I have a 65 LadySmith, but I prefer blued guns. The 13 PC is the only 3" 13 that I know of that has an underlug to match the 65.
That said I would be more than happy to have a 3" 13 just like the one you scored. I follow 3" 13 prices pretty carefully on the auctions. Curious what you paid for it? Any chance you will share that info?

Well this 13-3 was expensive here in CA but I had to have it because it was in NIB unfired condition with box etc! So I had to pay $900 for it.....because I knew that finding another mint 13-3 would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.....so I felt like I couldn't pass this "Gem" up!

Very nice find, carried one in the FBI from '85 until they made us turn 'em in around 2000-2001, several years after we were issued those beautiful ugly pistols from Austria!
