Welcome from Western Massachusetts. Outstanding collection, and I would like to echo what others have suggested above: you should consider joining the SWCA. Details are on the main forum page. Good luck to you!
Somehow, I don't think that he's a beginner.For a beginning collector, you have an outstanding collection.
Thanks to all for the warm welcome and compliments! I will check out the SWCA as per your recommendations.
My dad started to take me to gun shows when I was a young boy over 40 years ago. Back then I bought what I could afford on my lawn mowing budget. $35 Arisaka rifles etc. As the budget increased so did the quality of the purchases. That's how I arrived at where I am now. All 3 of the antique S&W revolvers I posted were purchased locally within 30 miles of my home.
To answer Sal, the Schofield is serial number matching on all of the parts you mentioned except the grip panel and the barrel catch screw. Are there any additional places that I should look for numbers?
Thanks again for the camaraderie! Best of luck with your collecting.
