Originally manufactured for the U.S. military circa 1876-1877, this is one of 5,934 Second Model Schofields manufactured by S&W. Although the "US" marking on the butt has been scrubbed, the revolver retains U.S. Ordnance markings such as the "P" proof on the underside of the barrel and rear cylinder face and sub-inspector "C" on the rear cylinder face. Matching serial numbers appear on the butt and cylinder. The left side of the grip frame has a S&W factory January 1924 ("1 24") return date. The revolver wears a set of pearl grips. The backstrap and butt have been cut outside the factory for an included shoulder stock. After Schofields were removed from military service, the revolvers made their way onto the commercial market. Many were altered or updated by retailers to fit their customers' tastes. Many were used by lawmen, express agents, outlaws, and pioneers in the Old West. This is an example of a surplus Schofield modified to fit the needs of its owner with the addition of a shoulder stock and pearl grips, possibly by a frontier gunsmith. The period craftsmanship is highly professional. The stock is highly figured walnut and has a checkered bare butt, and the hardware is silver plated. Provenance: The Supica Collection

Fine, retaining 80% of the factory refinished nickel plating. The back strap shows evidence of being cleaned. The grips are very fine with a surface chip on the lower right panel, minimal handling marks, and attractive fiery colors. The stock is also fine with scattered storage dings and scratches. The stock hardware has an attractive dark aged appearance. Mechanically excellent. A very interesting example of a surplus U.S. S&W Schofield Revolver having received a period stock.
