Your chance to own a piece of Old West History!

Manufactured from 1876-1877. This is a super rare civilian variation of the desirable second model Schofield. Estimates place the number of civilian guns made at approximately 650, see Supica and Nahas Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson for further information. The revolver has no sub inspector marks of any kind on the underside of the barrel, cylinder, or frame. The usual "U.S." stamping found of martial contracts is absent. The matching serial number is stamped on the butt, cylinder and inside of the right grip stock. Blade front sight and latch notch rear sight. The left side of the ejector housing is marked "SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD MASS. U.S.A." over the '65-71' patent dates in two lines, and the Schofield patent line, "SCHOFIELDS PATS JUNE 20th 71. APRIL 22nd 73" on the reverse. The revolver has the distinctive Second Model frame mounted latch with the round circle at the top. Smooth two piece grips have no military cartouche.

There is none of the original blue finish remaining on this revolver.
This piece has not been altered in any way.

The bore has rifling but does have some areas of light pitting.
The action functions as it should, the hammer has the correct notches/clicks and stays in the full cock position with no "push off".

$3850 + shipping takes this very scarce piece.

This will be offered on the SWCA site for a limited time, so don't miss out!

Serious buyers can email me for more photos or feel free to give me a call.

First "I'll Take It" followed by an email gets this one.

This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity to add a civilian Schofield to your collection. My asking price is well below what this could fetch if I put it up on an auction, so don't miss out!
Will be posted on this site for a limited time only.
Thanks for looking!

BTT
It's interesting to learn that most, if not all of the civilian Schofield's that made it out of the factory were those that were rejected by the U.S. Inspectors. Because the public demand for these guns was so great, some have suggested that S&W may have intentionally created "defective" guns so they could be available to civilian distributors.
If you look closely at this photo, you can see there is a machining error on the frame at the top of the left grip panel......hmmm....could the factory worker's hand have slipped and he "accidentally" gouged the frame??

***LAST CHANCE***

Just a few days left before I withdraw this fine firearm.

I may consider a part trade for a Freedom Arms Model 97 with 5.5" barrel in .357 Magnum or Freedom Arms Model 83 with 6" barrel in .44 Magnum.

**LAST DAY**

Really surprised at the slow response on this historical piece.
I am sure it will bring more than I am asking on an online auction.......but thought I would give the SWCA collector group 1st shot at it at a very reasonable price.

Will be pulling this add within 24 hours, don't be the one who kicks themselves for not grabbing it!

PS..........I remember a while back I offered up a Pre-29 on this forum and when no one grabbed it I sold it on an auction for $500 more than I was offering it here. Go figure!
