Smith & Wesson Mdl. 3, Schofield, Cal .44, Ser. 1433.
Description: Inv. 6580 Smith & Wesson Mdl. 3, Schofield, Cal .44, Ser. 1433. WOW, what an unbelievable history of this super rare estate gun. According to "Flayderman", the famous early U.S firearms historian, there were only 3035 of this first model ever made. The U.S. Army took 3000. A later production of 5000 was also purchased by the army. These were issued to the U.S. 4th Cavalry seeing service in the Geronimo campaign. The black troopers of 9th and 10th Cavalry, the intrepid "Buffalo Soldiers" of the Indian Wars. The James Brothers, Jesse and Frank, Cole Younger of the Younger Brothers, and Quantrill's Raiders notoriety, and U.S. Marshall Bill Tilghman. Also reported carrying a Schofield was, "Lonesome Charley" Reynolds, Chief Indian Scout for General Custer. Of the total of production of 8035 guns produced there were only 35 were made without U.S. Army markings these were sold commercially, and this is one of them. The fact that this gun still exists is amazing. The condition is relatively good. There is no original finish left. The gun is covered with light pin pricks with a slight deepening toward the end of the 7" barrel. This is quite common for guns that spent years in a leather holster. All parts are correct. The dark walnut grips are in super shape and appear to have retained about 90+% of the original lacquer. There are no chips, dings or splits anywhere. The grip screw is not marred. The gun locks up tight and functions properly. The right side of the barrel group marked *Schofeild's Pat, April 2nd 1876*. The left side of the barrel group has the full Smith & Wesson factory stamp with the name address and all the patent dates. Both sets of marking are fully legible. The bore is surprisingly nice quite bright with sharp rifling and just a touch of scattered frost. Judging from its appearance one would think it spent most of its life outdoors in a holster, more than likely in the Wild West. What a history, and 1 of only commercial Scofields ever produced. Probably the smallest amount of commercial guns ever made by Smith & Wesson. A collector's treasure trove certainly a centerpiece for any gun historian....$7500.
