SCARCE Antique WELLS FARGO & Co. Smith &Wesson 1st Model SCHOFIELD Revolver
One of 3,035 First Models Manufactured in 1875
Here we present an antique Wells Fargo & Co. Express marked Smith & Wesson First Model Schofield Single Action Revolver, manufactured in 1875. 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 US service and had their barrels shortened to 5 inches by Schuyler, Hartley & Graham before being sold to Wells Fargo & Co. The express companies required affordable, reliable weapons for their agents to defend against criminals during stagecoach holdups and train robberies.
Their fast-loading capabilities would also have been important given Jesse and Frank James, Cole Younger, and other outlaw legends of the Old West are also known to have carried Schofields and other variations of the Smith & Wesson No. 3. This example has the standard First Model markings, with "W F & CO'S. EX 842" on the right side under the Schofield patent marking.
The overall condition is fine. The old silver finish is virtually complete. The ivory grips are in excellent shape. The action is strong and tight all the way around. The bore is bright and sharply rifled. This is a superb piece with all the panache any revolver could muster for the Wild West.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 5 inches.
Caliber: .45 Schofield (also known as .45 S&W)
