Description:
THIS IS A S&W First Model American Transitional Model between 1st & 2nd. A very early gun, between 1870 and 1872. VERY RARE AND EXCELLENT SPECIMEN OF AN ANTIQUE
THE SERIAL NUMBER IS "7129" SO VERY EARLY PRODUCTION
HERE IS WHAT A FRIEND AND GUN MAGAZINE WRITER WROTE ME ABOUT IT :
Okay, so that old S&W Schofieldy looking gun seems to be this:
First Model American, or the Model No. 3, 1st Model Single Action. A very early gun, between 1870 and 1872. It was well into the old west time. If only it could talk.
Caliber is likely .44 American (or .44 S&W), but not .44 Special.
The only strange thing is the screw on the bottom of the butt near the serial number. It almost looks as if someone plugged a lanyard ring hole, but they weren’t shipped with lanyards (the Russian revolvers, following this one had them and the commercial models had that as an option).
But, I have no doubt someone could get a lanyard ring as an option when this was made, so that might have happened. It does not show the features the Russian or the 2nd. Model has.
I’d call it $5500 to $6500, at the higher end since the bore is so nice.
I wish I needed one!
