LETTERED Antique SMITH & WESSON U.S. 2nd Model .45 SCHOFIELD ARMY Revolver
One of 5,934 Second Models Manufactured c. 1876-77
Here we present an antique Smith & Wesson U.S. Second Model Schofield Single Action Revolver, manufactured circa 1876-77 in Springfield, Massachusetts with a total production of approximately 5,934.
The factory letter records this Schofield was shipped on April 11, 1877, to Schuyler, Hartley & Graham, who presumably shortened the barrel and nickeled the revolver to its current configuration. Schuyler, Hartley & Graham was the largest firearms dealer in the United States in 1860. Jacob Rutsen Schuyler (1816-1887), Marcellus Hartley (1828-1902) and Malcolm Graham (1832-1899) incorporated their company on March 1, 1854. In 1876 Schuyler retired from the company and by 1880 they changed the name to Hartley and Graham.
The butt is marked “U.S.” along with the serial number “6680”. Some Schofield revolvers were issued to the 4th Cavalry which saw service in the Geronimo Campaign, along with the famous 9th and 10th U.S. Cavalry comprised of the Buffalo Soldiers stationed in the American Southwest. People such as the James Brothers, Cole Younger, U.S. Marshall Bill Tilghman and Chief Scout for Custer “Lonesome Charley” Reynolds were known to carry a Schofield revolver.
The overall condition is very good. Period nickel finish. The action is strong. The bore is bright with nice rifling. Grips show much use and remain solid. Numbers match.
