Hi Ed i asked Roy and i guess he took a quick look for me in the records . Maby he was mistaken because i can not see a P on this gun anywhere or or even a trace of a US on the butt strap. I think i should get the letter because theres no US and a letter would argue it is infact a Goverment...

Well i asked and was Told its for sure a US goverment purchased gun. Im requesting the Letter this week but just wanted to know as they take so long to get (which is understandable) Anyway its good its a US goverment purchased gun as there more sought after for whatever reason, i am surprised...

I will post the letter when i get it. The guns condition is really nice just no real finish left. There is a L under the barrel lug a L on the frame in front of the bolt stop hole and a L on the rear face of the cylinder . Theres no p stamped i can see anywhere no US in the butt. the serial...

I just got a very nice S&W Schofield the serial number is very very low in the 30s and the gun is compleat numbers matching. even the grip has the number 36 on it but the butt strap has no sign of a US the latch screws are even orignal the latch and barrel also marked 36 I am going to get a S&W...

:EDIT ::: I got the info from Roy Frist he checked 36645 then 36845 i forgot the frist email i gave him i asked about 36645 which is the oct 95 shiped gun the other gun the 36845 was shiped in the 19000s. So that mix up that was my fault i forgot he had both posible serial numbers. The Latch...

Well the above posts are both incorrect the serial number 36845 was shiped from the factory in oct 1895 not 1896. Now heres a twist the Serial number in the butt strap is missing one number because of a laynard ring hole but the number i gave was me reading the tiny serial numbers in the latch...

Thanks for that info eh, I will get the Letter once i get the pearl stocks back so i can take pics, that should be later this week the factory letter can take a month or longer but im requesting one for sure. i was told by a S&W guy that it could well have been made in the early 90s so am not...

OK thats what i thought to,, nothing to loose by getting a factory letter. The marklings just look to old to be 1970s fake stampings the edges are not raised the nickle is still there to. Tho im sure they faked his JWH marking right after his death to so could have been stamped in the early...

Thanks for that info this guns full serial number is 36845 Pearl griped nickled 6.5 inch barreled gun with a laynard ring threaded hole in the butt strap which takes out the 8 in the serial number but because the barrel numbers match we know the full serial number 36845 I knew the Date of...

Ok this is a strange one a S&W DA model 3 in 44 Russian. The gun came up to Canada i bought it and when i took off the grips and cleaned the crud and grease that had built up i found theses old period correct JWH marks. After reading some stuff from Leon C Metz and finding out this is exactly...

Great thanks Ed Thats great news, Im keeping it but now i can get the letter request going to S&W

I Picked up a very nice S&W Schofield second Model the Ser # is 5889 has a tiny P proof and a E on the frame. The barrel has a E then a P on it. The ser # on the back of the Cylinder has a E under it as well like this 5889 E The guns a beauty but i cant make out if the Butt has a US on it...

OK makes sence. its still has blue in protected areas so thats better to leave it alone its a mostly gray gun smooth with no pitting . all orignal with ex bore it has sharp corners , grip with cartouse on right side still. I will post some pics once i have it in my mits. Thanks for the advise .

OK I need to know if S&W still restores orignal S&W Schofields ? I bought one off GB the gun is a smooth gun with very sharp edges. Do they still reblue the old guns whats the costs involved. Gun has a P on the back of cylinder and i think a W on the main frame under the cylinder.

Ok i will just leave it thanks for the tips Ed. I most likely will keep it anyway as the long cylinder models are harder to find in 44 Russian /S&W CTG

Well if its Fake im gona remove it and restore the gun get rid of the Pitting or most of it so i hope your 100% Correct LOL I will wait till i get a few more opions on this tho i think. The gun was bought as a shooter not a collectors Piece so no big loss if it is fake marking. I have seen...

Ok this one is for the real experts on here that know abit about Well Fargo marked guns. I bought this gun its a Antique S&W DA in 44 S&W CTG and marked on the barrels side 44 S&W CTG See the attached picture of the WF marking its aged the same as the barrel top address theres pitting in the C...
