Alas, it's not a Schofield...


But for just $9.00, I really like this new addition to my man cave!  ;)

Tight groups.

Well, since they are not Schofields, I'll offer to take the pic off your hands for $10 plus shipping ... LOL

REALLY NICE!

Well, I didn't order any...

...as I bought it locally and didn't have to pay for shipping/handling. *

( * Yet, that is... But I do like a couple of those other signs!)  ;)

Glad you guys liked it, and thanks to Pancho for the super link!

Howdy

The pistols on the sign are New Model Number Threes.

Sorry, but they got the date wrong, S&W did not start their revolver company until 1857. 1852 is often quoted as the beginning of S&W, but at that time they were working on the Volcanic magazine pistols and rifles. S&W had pooled their money to improve the Hunt/Jennings design, but they had financially over extended themselves. They also never came to grips with the fact that the Volcanic 'Rocket Ball' ammunition was hopelessly underpowered. S&W left the Volcanic outfit in 1855, selling the equipment and patent rights to a group of investors headed by Oliver Winchester. That company eventually became the New Haven Arms Company, producing the Henry rifle, and then eventually morphed into the Winchester Repeating Arms Company.

Smith and Wesson parted ways for a while, Horace Smith went back to his native Springfield and operated a livery stable with his brother in law for a while. In 1856 Daniel Wesson showed up in Springfield and interested his old partner in the new 22 caliber cartridge revolver he had designed. After securing licensing rights to the Rollin White patent for bored through chambers in a revolver cylinder, S&W launched their new venture, the current Smith and Wesson company, in 1857.
That's bad business! How long do you think I'd stay in operation if it cost me money every time I pulled a job? If he'd pay me that much to stop robbing him, I'd stop robbing him.

Ya probably inherited every penny ya got!
