Catalog Page: 98
Class: Antique
Description:

Manufactured for the U.S. military circa 1876-77 with a total production approximately 5,934. U.S. Ordnance sub-inspector stamps "W" and "P" are on the rear of the cylinder and underside of the barrel lug. "US" is stamped on the butt. Matching serial numbers are on the butt, right grip panel, and cylinder. Period retailer applied nickel plating, possibly ordered by a military officer or quite simply rejected by ordnance and sold by the factory on the commercial market. 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. People such as the James Brothers, Cole Younger, U.S. Marshall Bill Tilghman and the Chief Scout for Custer, "Lonesome Charley" Reynolds were known to carry Schofield revolvers.

Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine, retaining 90% period retailer applied nickel plating with light flaking and high edge wear on the balance. Slight traces of original case colors remain on the trigger guard. Some original case colors remain on the hammer. The grips are fine with a couple tiny chips at the toes and minor dings and scratches mostly on the bottoms. Front sight blade replaced. Mechanically excellent. A solid representative example of a U.S. S&W Second Model Schofield Revolver.
