the Knuckle Duster is a IJ, very few were built, they had to be fitted at the factory. If I remember right, there were about 1800 total shipped, they say at one time, Iver Johnson was shipping about 9000 guns a week

I had two of the pro center guns in my sample kit, when I was a RSM for S&W, shot a couple match's with them.
I had found a little out of the way gun shop in the mountains of NC that I called on, that had a couple of cases of 45 Schofield on his shelf, that he had had forever, traded him a case of S&W coffee mugs for them.
Wish I would have kept those guns. I think I might still have some of the paper "Promo kits" on them in a box ,,somewhere.
Holster was made in or around 1938 by "Eubanks leather" in Idaho
(Guns in the holster now are Berra Schofield Co2 bb guns)

Excellent ! Mine in 44-40I've looked at these things for years, seems like every time I'd see one at a gunshow or my LGS, I'd have to stop and ask, "May I see that please?". Play with it for a few minutes and then hand it back thinking, "Wow. That's actually pretty cool".
Every one I've handled, and there's been a bunch, struck me on how well they were fitted, the quality of the machining, and excellent polishing. But I always handed it back over as it seemed I was always looking for something else that day.
But not anymore.
This one was sold through Navy Arms about 20 years ago and came to me LNIB. The lock-up on this six gun is INCREDIBLE. Really looking forward to getting out to the range with this one. I'm betting it's going to be very accurate, and I just happen to be sitting on several hundred rounds of 45 Colt "Cowboy Loads".
Anyone else own one? Or Two? Any of the other variants of Number 3?

A beautiful brute! With that huge rib, how much does that thing weigh?

I'd have to look up the spec weight, but it's a rather quick handling single action imo. I'll add this, it's a hell of a lot lighter in the hand than my 1875 Remington clone. (another fun repro to play with)
The barrel rib is scalloped along it's length and has a groove along the top leading to the front sight. It's a neat piece of machining, whether in 1875 or 2023.

Very nice ! I think we think a like. My 1875 is the older EMF, with the rare brass trigger guard, which they don't do anymore. It is also in 44-40.

I just bought an Uberti 1875. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. What do y'all think of your's?
I knew of them, but never saw one in any gun shop in my area. Three years ago, went shooting with a buddy. He brought his two Schofields, both in 45 Colt. After shooting his I became interested.
Last year decided to order one from Taylors and Co. They were on back order. Go figure. Well last month I get a call from Ryan at Taylors asking if I still wanted it.
The answer below,,,,,,
Its mine! 7 inch barrel, 38 special.

Schofield Speed Loaders
The HKS 25-5 (for 45 Colt) and HKS 45 (for 45 auto rim) speed loaders both work perfectly with 45 Colt in current Schofields. Too bad they did not have them in the day. 45 S&W (Schofield brass will not fit,however, rims are too big)

I have a pair of Uberti Number 3 Russians (in 44 Russian). I have friends with Schofields in both 45 S&W and 45 Colt. The longer cylinder really changes the balance.
I traded into about 750 45 S&W reloads, they won't work ib SAA recessed chambers, but work fine in exposed rim guns like my Vaqueros. They also feed and extract fine in my 92 and Marlin 1894 45 Colt lever guns. But 44 Russian is just too short to work in 92's & 1894's.

I too have admired the Schofields and other large frame S&W top breaks but could never afford one, original or reproduction. But a few months ago I found a nice Taylor/Uberti Frontier on a local classified site. Its a 6.5" barreled, 44 Special and I'm not complaining. Nice trigger and very accurate with the two boxes of 200 and 240 grain HSM Cowboy action ammo that came with it. Now to find a nice holster rig...

I'm jealous, a little bit anyway.
Not that I'm complaining about mine, far from it, but I lost an auction in the month prior to my purchase for a New Model #3 like yours, but in 45 Colt.
So I'm happy with mine, but I want yours too.
And like you, I'm looking at leather. "The addiction that never ends".

I've been Cowboy Shooting two Uberti 5.5" Schofields for the last 14 years, and have never had a lick of trouble with them. I've got 5 different pairs of cowboy guns, so they only get shot every fifth match, but that still amounts to a LOT of shooting over the years. I've personally never found them to be any different to handle than Colt clones or Rugers, nor any less accurate. As someone said above, that seems to vary from gun to gun. I obviously got lucky, twice.
Finding it was a bit of serendipity. I had just sold my last two S&W top breaks, a 32 and 38 SA. They provided 100% of the funds for the #3. Timing is everything!

Your pics of the rig makes me wish there was a giant thumbs up or something other than just a "Like" button.
