Help Me Identify This Old S&W Revolver

[Hivoltage]

A buddy of mine found this in an estate house, looks old but what is it, or where can I go to find it? I have looked all over with no luck.

From your photo and one in my book Pistols Of the World this looks like a S&W 38 First Model Double Action 1880. Thats my best guess from the pic's. Hope it helps.

Except for the slight deviation of the trigger assembly, your pictures is dead on.

That would be a gun to own for sure, just for history reasons only in my view.

It appears to be very much like the Smith & Wesson Model No. 3 .44 Double Action. There were also Model No. 3 .38s. You can see by the parts photo that other stocks were available.

Smith and Wesson can tell you for certain and will probably give you an estimated value.
