My father in law dug this out of his gun safe to show me today. It belonged to his father, who operated a watch/gun repair shop from the 30's thru the 70s. Based on my research this afternoon, it a appears to be a Schofield Model 1. Please excuse my lack of gun knowledge and terminology.

The barrel is 7 inches long. The cylinder has the marks of "L" and "P" and the serial number, 28XX.





Reading some of the other posts, it appears that there are other serial numbers that I should verify. Anything else that i need to check to be able to confirm what it is?

thanks,

Mark
