Description:

Manufactured for the U.S. military circa 1875 with a total production of approximately 3,035. The revolver is marked with the two line address/patent dates on the left side of the ejector housing flanked by elongated Maltese crosses. The right side of the ejector housing is marked "+SCHOFIELD'S PAT. APR. 22D 1873+". The butt is marked "U.S." on the toe along with the serial number "1425". The rear cylinder face is stamped with the matching serial number and Ordnance sub-inspector's "L" and "P", which are also marked on the bottom flat of the ejector housing. The grips are smooth walnut with no visible cartouche and the matching serial number stamped on the inside of the right panel. Many Schofield revolvers were issued to the 4th Cavalry which saw service in the "Geronimo Campaign" and the famous 9th and 10th U.S. Cavalry comprised of the "Buffalo Soldiers" stationed in the American Southwest. The revolver is identified as a U.S. Schofield by serial number in the STANDARD CATALOG OF SMITH & WESSON on page 92.

Rating Definition:

Good. Traces of original blue finish remain in the protected areas with a smooth mottled brown-gray patina on the balance. There is some very scattered minor pitting and the cylinder shows some cleaning. The grips are good with a minor chip missing near the bottom which has a hair line crack (left panel) and there are some minor handling marks. Action needs work.
