Reloadable ammo is available but sold separately Comes with FRT RCMP paperwork. Smith & Wesson 44 New Model No. 3 Top Break, .44 Special / Russian Revolver. This one is in very good condition with longer 1 9/16 cylinder and can shoot both .44 Special and 44 Russian ammo. The action is strong and accurate, and the cylinder indexes and locks properly. The bore of the 5 inch barrel is quite good, with strong rifling. The black hard rubber grips are good and undamaged. Mechanically in excellent condition with proper timing and lockup. The latch is also solid. Extractor works as it should. SN 10682, very good overall. History & Background Smith and Wesson's first double action design dates back to at least 1872 - years before Colt ever attempted a double action cartridge revolver. It was mentioned in a letter to the Russian envoy General Orlof, and although the sale to Russia never materialized, it served to pave the way for the very popular and successful line of double action top break revolvers. The .44 Russian model was actually the first to be produced as a prototype, and the last to be released for sale to the public. For this reason there exists a degree of confusion over the proper terminology: the first one to be manufactured for sale was the .38 caliber model, followed by the .32. The .44 caliber model was not released until 1881, and is variably known as the No. 3 Double Action, the Double Action "Navy" (a name Daniel Wesson wanted to keep alive to differentiate this model from the No. 3 single action, and still holding out hope to sell it to the Russian navy), and the First Model Double Action. Originally, the .44 Double Action was made with a 1 7/16 inch cylinder, however an optional .44-40 version was available as of 1886. This required a 1 9/16 inch cylinder, and a longer frame. The firm soon realized that it was too expensive and cumbersome to manufacture two different sizes of frames for what was essentially the same gun, and the shorter cylinder and frame were dropped in favor of the longer one in the early 1890's. The No. 3 frame .44 double action top breaks were dropped from the Smith and Wesson catalogue in 1913.

Rare Mint 1985 Sony FH-5 Compact High Density Component System *Read
Cosmetically this unit is in mint condition, I would say it’s a 9.5/10. Priced to sell. These sell for crazy money, working or not. This hefty “Boombox” is actually comprised of 3 separate components held together by metal brackets and 2 detachable speakers. The heavy duty handle is removeable. Weighs 30lbs without batteries! Runs on AC or optional 10 X D cell batteries. Has 3 sets of RCA inputs, 1 is a dedicated phono input (built in MM pre-amp) and 2 are for a CD player, etc. The sound that pumps out of this thing is nuts. Components have had all the switches and pots cleaned with DeoxIT. Tested and everything besides the tape deck is working as it should. Also tested with a turntable. *Note: The tape deck is not functioning. Just had the belts replaced professionally and they noticed that one of the idler wheel assemblies has an issue. They tried to correct the problem, and it worked for a few days, then stopped working properly. Brought it back to them and they told me that it would need to be replaced. They could not find a replacement. Individual Components: TC-58 Tape Deck - Auto-reverse playback, automatic recording level, auto play and automatic sensor. ST-58 Tuner – AM/FM stereo with telescopic antenna and inputs for optional external antenna’s TA-58 Integrated Stereo Amplifier – 2 X 25 W into 8 ohm speakers on AC power or 2 X 3.5 W on battery power. Phono input plus 2 more RCA inputs. Built in 5 band graphic equalizer. APM-058 Speakers – 3-Way super wide speaker system, 4 ohm, 25W (nom) 50W (peak)
