Manufactured for the U.S. military circa 1876-77 with total production approximately 5,934. "US" is marked on the butt, and "E" and "P" are stamped on the barrel underside and rear cylinder face. Each grip panel has a script letter cartouche, and the left panel has the date "1876". The right grip panel and cylinder are 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 plus, retaining 30% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown-gray patina and a couple patches of pitting on the side plate. Patterns of original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger guard. The grips are fine with some minor dings and scratches and clear cartouches and date stamping. Mechanically excellent.
