Prototype Birdshead Grip S&W No.3 Russian (ad-free)
🕑 Added 2023-03-06 12:00:02 +0000 UTCThis revolver appears to be one of the pre-production prototypes S&W made for the Russian No.3 revolver contract. Its frame has been expertly converted to a birdshead style. It handles very nicely, but was apparently not ultimately desired by the Russian purchasing commission, and the design was not used beyond this prototype sample.

Definitely a Bisley grip.
Guido Schriewer
that grip is a clear no. but the no3's are damn cool. uh! those two should go pretty costly.
Isn’t that more a Bisley style grip than a birds head? Great job, I love your videos.

Very cool; I've certainly never seen a No 3 like that before...

If I had the money I would have all of the S&W top breaks, they are fine shooters.

It has the appearance of a Colt Beasley pattern.

Arg - "birdshead". Thanks, autocorrect...

Birdseed style?
