Default 3" Model 13-3 factory DAO?

A local shop took in a bunch of NIB Smiths as part of a consignment deal. One is a 13-3, 3", round butt, with a factory bobbed hammer. It has a green(ish) insert in the front sight. I didn't have time to really look it over, but I'm going back this week. It was tagged at $650. Box, papers, everything.

The consignee is a Smith collector with some really good stuff, most of it J frame .22s.

Is this a configuration anyone here has seen before?

Smith made DAO on contract for various police departments, NYPD being one, but they ordered 4" guns.

If you don't get it....I will.

What are you still doing here? Go.

EDIT: Following up....here is my Model 13 with 3" barrel, round butt. It is absolutely one of my favorite carry guns. Gets a little less IWB holster time in the summer because of sweat, but it's in the rotation a few days a month in the winter. Perfectly balanced. Would like to have a DAO version.

I would be a buyer at that price - regardless of pedigree. I have a 3-inch Model 13 and absolutely love it.
