The Smith & Wesson arms company in Springfield, Massachusetts produced almost 6,000 of these large sidearms for government use between 1876 and 1877. Known as the 2^nd Model Schofield, this hefty revolver is a .45 S&W caliber and bears serial # 6456. Revolver is fitted with a six-shot fluted cylinder matched to a 5½” long round barrel. Revolver has no original colors on the gun metal. Does not appear to have been cleaned. Piece opens with a tip-down barrel hinge break action. A very good set of two-piece, unvarnished walnut grips is featured with a flat butt shape profile. In mechanically crisp condition, the revolver features a smooth, dusky dark gray patina overall. This Smith & Wesson S/A rimfire revolver makes a handsome addition to any collection of secondary sidearms.
