Is that a Schofield?

Those are awesome! I have a Winchester model 73 (I believe) that I got from one of my grandpa's! Probably my favorite gun.The thing shoots great!

Schofields were single action top break revolvers. The S&W is probably a .44-40. The second is a clone of it made in Belgium at around the same time. 1890s. I have shot the clone with my granddad.

Good memory and a good time.
He had the Colt in his rocking chair by the front door.

My grandpa kept his rifle loaded in the machine shed. Used it to shoot at coyotes that tried to get at his cattle. I'll never forget walking up there once to see him shooting at the coyotes and yelling to get off his property.

When we were cleaning everything up before they sold the farm, my uncle knocked the rifle over. Firing it, barely missing my uncle and putting a hole through the barn.

If your S&W is a .44 cal then it is probably .44 Russian cartridge.

Another forum helped me with the ID. SW 1st model. - Most likely .44 Russian. I can take it to a local gun shop and try a .44 SPL in it. If the cartridge sticks out .2" then it is the Russian. Looking at the chamber that is what I believe it is.
