Early 1st Model Schofield revolver matching ser. #1295, without "1873" patent date at left ejector housing.  Condition is very good retaining traces of blue in protected areas (bbl. rib, cyl. flutes), else gray gunmetal showing scattered light discoloration, fine factory markings.  Plain oil-finished walnut grips show light wear (esp. bottom edges).  Barrel hinge and latch are strong.  Action is strong and smooth, bore shows generally light etching, pronounced rifling.  No "U.S." marking at butt or inspectors' marks visible; if this is a commercial Schofield it is exceedingly rare.
