There was someone questioning whether it was a #3 Russian model. Here is an email conversation I had with Roy Jinks the Historian from S&W.
Bob, the gun in the picture is a Model 3 Russian First Model manufactured in 1872. It appears as if the barrel has been shortened and the ivory grips added. It is not a Schofield. I hope that this helps. Roy G. Jinks, Historian, Smith & Wesson----- Original Message -----From: Bob StubbsTo: Roy JinksSent: Monday, March 23, 2009 8:26 PMSubject: Re: Old S&WThanks for the help.

You can send a picture if you want me to identify it. Roy G.

I can send you a picture if that will help. It's a top break, single action .44 Russian. No hump on the grip and the release is on the barrel.

Bob, if you have identified it correctly the Smith & Wesson Model 3 Russian First Model serial number 9538 would have been shipped in 1872. I hope that this helps. Roy G.

I'm told it is a first model Russian. It is a top break single action in 44 Russian. The serial number is 9538. I have 2 Schofields and several other nice S&W's but this is by far my favorite.Thanks

Can you post a photo of the barrel marking?
There are no barrel markings here is what Wikipedia says about the #3.
The Model 3 was originally chambered for the .44 S&W American and .44 Russian cartridges, and typically did not have the cartridge information stamped on the gun (as is standard practice for most commercial firearms). Model 3 revolvers were later produced in an assortment of calibers, including .44 Henry Rimfire, .44-40, .32-44, .38-44, and .45 Schofield. The design influenced the smaller S&W .38 Single Action that is retroactively referred to as the Model 2.[2]

Is that nickel or stainless,.
?
Well a magnet sticks to it, so I assume it's nickle, but there is absolutely no flaking. Maybe it was redone when the barrel was shortened, the finish is better than my 2 150 years younger.Performance Center Schofields

Howdy all,
I had to through my 2 cents in here due to Boulder C. B. recommending a Marlin and Win. 94. I have to agree that a well set up Marlin is a popular choice; however, I have to disagree about the Win. 94 as I don't believe they are/were made in 45/70. If one is not wed to the 45/70, the 94 in 30/30, .32 Win. Spec. or even .38/55 might make a good choice.
Rev. Chase
Yep, my bad, I was thinking of 38-55 like I shoot, no 94's in 45-70. The 86 would be a good choice if you want a lever gun. Don't discount the single shots, lots of good choices there, plus you can shoot Quigley matches with it.

4 3/4" barrel, ivory grips, engraving by Aspen Filly, .44 Russian, excellent condition. I've owned this for 30 plus years, it was my main match gun for a few years until I found a match to my Schofield. I bought it from a dealer who said it was used as a bowling pin gun by a local gunsmith/ shooter. $2500. I can bring it to GOP, EOT or most any match in S. AZ

If by side matches you mean long range, I think there are better choices. Does it have a tang suitable for a Vernier or tang site. Depending on where you shoot you could be shooting out to 250 yds, or more. Heavy barrel? How many rounds does it hold? Here in AZ long range ties are determined by number of hits with the fastest time a tie breaker. Some clubs only allow you to load 5, others you can stoke it up. Henry makes fine rifles and have a great warranty.

I have a vault built by Better Built (no longer made), it's half the width of my truck bed because I was afraid as I got older I wouldn't be able to list my gun cart over a full width one. I added a cargo slide when I changed trucks, It works well for me. I leave my guns locked in it at shoots.

I don't know if all Uberti's are like this, but the 2 people I know that use them they are. The Uberti's require you to manually cock the hammer, the Miroku Winchester cock automatically when you open the lever. In AZ long range match ties are called by time, so manually cocking the hammer ads to your time over 10 shots. Just something to consider. When we shoot matches up N, ties are dealt with ,with a shoot off.

Even a "signature required" is no guarantee it won't be left by the door. I had a Bond derringer shipped back to me from Bond by UPS and it clearly stated adult signature required and my UPS guy left it next to my door when I was out.

Simple enough to find out, plug in to your tow vehicle, disconnect the switch, check the voltage at your rv battery, start your tow vehicle and test voltage again.
