    Revenue Cutter New Model #3

    So I pulled the grips. The right hand grip has something scratched into it. very very light. It could match but I wouldn't swear to it.

    Revenue Cutter New Model #3

    The letter doesn't say if it was a shipment of one or a group but it does say that it was delivered to the National Armoury in Springfield, MA, so probably not a private purchase.

    Revenue Cutter New Model #3

    I should have mentioned too, that some idiot has polished the top rib of the barrel. Like they were trying to clean it up and then gave up. In my opinion that'll hurt the guns value a lot more than the pitting. Very sad.

    Hi The letter says 6" barrell, blued finish, and hard rubber grips. Matches what the gun is. The grips are chipped on the heel. I havn't pulled them to check for markings but i'll do that this afternoon and report back. I should have said supporting info more than provenance. Some...

    .455 Mark II Hand Ejector 2nd Model

    The single mark on the butt of the gun indicates that it was purchased by the Canadian government for resale to Officers. In WW 1 the officers had to buy their own kit. But the govt. kept supplies of stuff to sell them. I have one in very similar condition. I strongly suspect that they were...

    Revenue Cutter New Model #3

    I have acquired a S&W New Model #3 that was purchased for the Revenue Cutter service. Very rare gun. Apparently the US government only purchased 140 of these for the 12 Cutters they had at the time. The Revenue Cutter of course became the Coast Guard. Mechanically it is in very good...
