Description:
Of the approximate 9,000 "ORIGINAL" Schofields manufactured, less than 700 were sold commercially and few are Engraved and Nickel. Norm Flayderman notes in his popular "Guide to Antique American Firearms" that many Western notables carried a Schofield; including Frank & Jessie James, Cole Younger, U.S. Marshall Bill Tilghman and "Lonesome Charley" Reynolds. The Engarving on this gun has full coverage New York style Engraving on both sides of the frame, barrel and cylinder. The revolver has a rather crisp fine bore and excellent markings considering it must have been poorly stored. There are areas of pitting on many parts of the gun, otherwise this is an attractive and Rare Engraved Large Frame Revolver made near the end of the Schofield serial range in 1877. The condition is very good. The barrel and cylinder retain 20-30% original nickel especially in protected areas with areas of pitting, especially deep on one side of cylinder for about 1" of its length. The frame retains 60-70% original nickel with Crisp well Defined Engraving. The grip frame finish is moderately pitted on the backstrap. The grips are sound with numerous small blemishes and grip screw needs replaced. Mechanically the gun functions well and bore is crisp and mostly shiny with small areas of pitting. 100% Original, not cleaned or buffed.
