Manufactured for the U.S. military circa 1876-77 with total production approximately 5,934. "US" is marked on the butt. "W" and "P" are stamped on the rear cylinder face, and "E" and "P" are stamped on the underside of the barrel. The right grip panel is numbered to a different gun, and each grip panel has a script cartouche along with the date "1876" on the left panel. The cylinder is numbered to the gun. 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.

Very good, retaining generous amounts of original blue finish mostly on the frame, otherwise a mottled brown-gray patina. Visible original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger guard. The replacement grips are very good showing some moderate dings and legible cartouches. Mechanically excellent.
