Our Assessment: Designed by Major Schofield of the U.S. Army the Schofield Revolver was an improvement and up-grade of earlier top-break Single Action revolvers produced in the line of the legendary firearms company Smith & Wesson. The United States Army contracted a total of over 5 000 Schofields with 7-1/2? barrel lengths. The caliber was .45 Schofield. This revolver represents the first real challenge on the military and civilian market to the Colt Single Action. Graceful and accurate, the Schofield revolver was the choice of many gunslingers and entrepreneurs in the Old West. Jesse James is said to have carried both the Schofield and the Colt Single Actions simultaneously. The Wells Fargo Company stocked their considerable arsenal with special 5-1/2? Schofield revolvers marked with the company logo.
These Ubertti reproductions are faithful to the original Smith & Wesson design, featuring a blued finish, smooth wood grips and 7” barrels. How can it get any better? Well this does get better with the addition of a gunbelt and 4 holsters. Made by the Godfather of gunleather John Bianchi. The holsters and belt are all finished in the same Chestnut oil stain and are border stamped which really makes this otherwise simple gunbelt stand out.
This is a dream come true for cowboy action shooting enthusiasts, living historians, and reenactors alike. Everything in this is in very good condition and is stunning when you put the whole kit together. All the trouble of collecting these items has already been done, so it’s ready to be put together and put to use. Please see our high quality photos and good luck on your bid! -M.C.
