Description:
Scarce Wells Fargo & Co. Express Marked Smith & Wesson First Model Schofield, Single Action Revolver. A total of 3,035 First Models were manufactured in 1875. This revolver was part of a group that was purchased when the Schofields were removed from the U.S. Calvary Service. The barrels were shortened to 5 inches by Schuyler, Hartley & Graham before being sold to "Wells Fargo & Co". This example has the standard First Model markings, with "W F & CO'S. EX 1855" added on the right side under the Schofield patent marking.
A "U.S." is stamped on the butt with serial number # 1855 on the rear cylinder face (with an "L" below it), barrel under the latch, inside face of the barrel latch, and right grip. The mechanism is good and the screw heads are not buggered up.
If you have been looking for an Authentic US Cavalry Schofield that was issued to the 4th, 9th and 10th U.S. Cavalries, and the "Buffalo Soldiers" of the Indian Wars, and survived the US expansion into the American West -- This is a Good One.
