Model 3 Russian family heirloom
My Grandfather passed a family gun to me this week. It belonged to my 2nd great grandfather and was acquired in Cheyenne Wyoming in the late 1890s from a Boston banker wanting to move out west and become a cowboy/gunfighter (So the family story goes). I have the original Collins & Morrison belt to go with it.
Attached are a couple of pics. I'm looking for some solid info before moving onto the SW historical society. The serial # is 30397 and is stamped on the butt and the cylinder. The rib on top of the barrel is stamped "Smith & Wesson Springfield Mass USA"
and the left side of the barrel is stamped "44 S&W OTQ" The nickel finish, scroll work and grips are described in letters from my 2nd great Grandfather from the early 1900s. Not sure if they are original from S&W.
Thanks in advance for any information and thanks to the forum for providing a place for me to learn.
