Schofield

Folke Weinholt
Does anyone know the value of a Schofield in 44 russian, nickelfinish and with russian text on the barrel? It doese't need to be an exact value I just want to know if it's worth saving or if it's something for the scrapyard

    I am in the market (this suction site) for a Schofield. There are some significant differences between the S$W (new) and the Uberti and Navy Arms. Should I save my $ and get the S&W or will the less expensive models do. It will be for occasional target shooting only, no SASS activities.Thanks in advance,Gus

    It's a Russian Model if it's .44 Russian caliber, and worth more than the standard model if the Cyrillic barrel markings are authentic. But if it's nickel plated, probably refinished.

    The Schofield was .45 caliber, made for the U.S. Army.

    EDIT
    The firearm is located in the USA, am I correct on this assumption? Joe


    I believe he's in Sweden.

    Yes, I'm in Sweden. It's a nice gun, I have some pictures but I don't know how to get them in to this message.
    i think it's the original finish, it sure looks so, and the markings is authentic, I don`t have it here but I recall it stood some Cyrillic text and a year 1888?

    If the Cyrillic address includes a date, you have one made by the Russian Government Arsenal at Tula, which is otherwise identical to the ones made by S&W in USA. Whether or not any were nickel plated I don't know, but since they were made for Russian military use, I doubt it.

    Flayderman's Guide lists value in the USA from $1400 for Good Condition to $3750 for Excellent condition, but condition and originality can't be guessed without good close up photos. (See "Posting Photographs" sticky)
