The accompanying factory letter states the revolver was shipped on February 13, 1877 and delivered to M.W. Robinson Co., New York City with a 6 1/2 inch barrel, nickel finish, butt swivel and smooth walnut grips. The barrel rib has the one-line address/patent dates marking ending with "RUSSIAN MODEL." The right grip panel is numbered to the gun. Matching assembly numbers are on the grip frame, cylinder, barrel and barrel latch. A true American frontier sidearm, the Model No. 3 Russian 3rd Model revolver was carried by celebrated lawman Pat Garrett and notorious outlaw Charlie Pitts (aka Sam Wells).
