Need help identifying a gun. Says it's a Smith and wesson

thats a schofield

That's the old pinfire black powder type anyway. Will blow in your face if you manage to put a modern round into it. Around here that makes it free to sell and buy without registering. An interesting item to own but not an investment. Care to take a pic of the top, where the text should be?

You sure? What calibers did the schofield come in? It said this one was 8

>>32794648
I hate you, Schofields are not the only top break revolvers in the world. If you don't know that then shut up and lurk moar

Oh i dont own it, it's kind of the government, or how you would explaining it, that is auctioning it away

Fair enough. Point is, these were sold as personal protection to the low price market. Small calibre, weak loads, produced by the millions and on top of that, copied in equal measure without a license.

I have a drawer full of these, in varying shape. Most of them I bought on ebay. And I can assure you, I paid more in shipping than I did for the actual guns. For 170 I would set my sights higher than this.

it looks to be missing the cylinder stop, which is common with those old smiths, making it extremely unsafe to fire even if you do gin up some black powder .32

S&W second model double action.
Will handle modern smokeless loads just fine as long as you don't go +p.
