The model number 3 was initially not accepted by the American army, Smith & Wesson thus took the decision to propose this revolver to the Russian army in full reorganization.
By convincing General Gorloff, military attaché to the United States, on May 1, 1871 a contract was signed for an order of 20 000 pieces.
The particularity of this model is the use of a heavier bullet, a higher powder charge, the Cyrillic markings and the ring of strap to the handle.

Very good working condition.
