This revolver follows the classic top-break pattern with an automatic star extractor, allowing all cases to lift simultaneously when the action is opened. It is a six-shot, single-action design that preserves the handling and lines of the original pattern while using modern manufacturing.
The 5 inch steel barrel pairs with fixed sights: a half-moon front blade and a square-notch rear sight integral to the top latch. The barrel stamping reads '45 COLT & SCHOFIELD', confirming compatibility with .45 Schofield alongside .45 Colt.
Construction is all steel with a high-polish blued finish. The hammer, top latch, and trigger guard are color case-hardened, and the revolver wears smooth two-piece walnut grips that complement the period-correct aesthetic.
