Smith & Wesson Schofield

Smith & Wesson Schofield {Brass & Black version}

Description

This Smith & Wesson Schofield revolver is a great replica of the gun manufactured from 1875-1878.  This non-firing replica has the original's "single action" and "top break" loading mechanism, featuring wooden handles and working action in a brass & black finish.  Most of the revolvers from Smith & Wesson were produced in a blued finish (as above), but a number were made in a nickel finish.

History

Smith & Wesson took a step closer to perfecting firearms with this 1869 “First Model American” Army revolver.  The revolver took its name from Major George W. Schofield of the 10th Cavalry.  It had a hinged frame that opened to reveal the end of the cylinder and an automatic ejection system for faster reloading of the newly developed metallic cartridges.  The gun has a great association with the "Cowboy" era of the American West.  As a "top-break" revolver, the 1875 Schofield could be loaded much faster than other side arms of the day and was a popular choice.  Unfortunately the movies ignore this gun and made the "peacemaker" famous instead, but was made infamous as the gun that killed Jessie James.
