U.S. inspection marks "W" and "P" are on the barrel, "W" on the top of the frame under the cylinder, and "W" and "P" on the rear cylinder face. The butt has a period replacement lanyard stud and ring and is marked with the serial number (factory remarked) and "US." The left side of the grip frame has a S&W pre-1900 refinish "S" mark. The revolver was one of a number sold as government surplus by Hartley & Graham or Bannerman who shortened the barrel to 5 inches and was purchased by Wells Fargo. The Wells Fargo marking "W.F. & COS. EX 365" is stamped under the Schofield patent marking on the right side of the ejector housing. The militia rack number "A33" is stamped on the right grip panel. Matching serial numbers are on the butt, right grip panel and cylinder.

Fine, retaining 70% of the S&W reapplied blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. There is an area of light pitting on the cylinder. 85% of the case colors remain on the hammer and trigger guard. The grips are very good showing minor dings and scratches and high edge wear. Mechanically excellent.
