RARE SMITH & WESSON ENGRAVED AND NICKEL 2ND MODEL COMMERCIAL MARKED SCHOFIELD REVOLVER.

SN 8797. Cal. 45 Schofield. Nickel finish, 7” keyhole ribbed bbl with markings on both sides of the bbl lug strap. Full coverage New York style engraving on both sides of the frame, bbl and cylinder and it is fitted with 2-pc walnut grips and added lanyard ring in butt. Of the approximate 9,000 Schofield’s manufactured less than 700 were sold commercially and few are engraved and nickel. Norm Flayderman notes in his popular Guide to Antique American Firearms that many Western notables carried Schofield; including Frank & Jessie James, Cole Younger, U.S. Marshall Bill Tilghman and “Lonesome Charley” Reynolds. Engraving on this gun appears contemporary to its time of manufacture and has a rather crisp fine bore and excellent markings considering it must have been poorly stored as there are areas of pitting on most parts of gun, otherwise this is an attractive and rare engraved large frame revolver made near the end of the Schofield serial range in 1877. CONDITION: Good to very good. Bbl and cylinder retain 20-30% orig nickel especially in protected areas with areas of pitting especially deep on one side of cylinder for about 1″ of its length. The frame retains 60-70% orig nickel with crisp well defined engraving with staining and pitting. The grip frame retains less finish and is heavily pitted on backstrap. Grips are sound with numerous small blemishes and grip screw is boogered and will not turn. The bbl latch retains about half of its dull orig blue finish, fits gun well but is probably a replacement as it shows no pitting that would be consistent with rest of gun. Mechanically gun functions well and bore is crisp and mostly shiny with small areas of pitting. 4-55347 JS (3,000-5,000) – Lot 1472
