SCARCE MARTIALLY MARKED SMITH & WESSON SECOND MODEL SCHOFIELD SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. SN 3581. Cal. 45 S&W Schofield. Blue finish with 7″ keyhole shaped bbl and modified pinned German silver front sight with second type bbl latch having knurled top edges and small round pads on the sides. Mounted with 2-pc smooth walnut grips numbered to this revolver. Buttstrap is stamped with a small “U.S”.

Only about 5,934 of these Second Model Schofields were produced in the period 1876-1877 with 5,285 of those going to the military. These revolvers remained in service only a short period of time before they were recalled and sold as surplus to Schuyler, Hartley & Graham. Many of them had their bbls shortened and sold to Wells Fargo & Co. Few remain today in orig configuration with orig grips and high orig finish. CONDITION: About fine. Bbl retains about 75-80% orig blue, worn dull with some flaking in the area forward of the cyl, which is now a dark patina. Frame retains 70-75% glossy orig blue mixed with flaked medium patina. Front and backstrap are a thin blue patina. Cyl retains 60-70% orig blue, strong in the flutes flaked on the outer diameter with fine pitting on one land. Trigger guard and hammer retain most of their orig case colors, moderately faded, stronger in sheltered areas. Grips are sound showing light to moderate wear with a hand worn patina and traces of orig finish. Mechanics are crisp, strong, bright bore with a bulge on the left side about mid point. 4-39472 JR400 (3,000-5,000)
