The Jesse James Attributed Schofield Revolver

The outlaw Jesse James needs little introduction in the United States. The Civil War bushwhacker and guerilla continued his lawless ways after the bloody conflict, and became a nationally known robber of trains, banks, stages, and more. Together with his brother Frank, they lead the James-Younger Gang to a limelight that even their brutal murders couldn't dim.
Many guns throughout the years have been claimed to have been that of Jesse James, but few with any sort of historical backing. This Smith and Wesson First Model Schofield revolver brings with it a trio of supports that together make an excellent case that this revolver was once used by the James Gang with a strong likelihood that it was carried by Jesse himself.

Legend has it his mother would buy guns and sell them as being owned/used by Jesse.

I've read that somewhere too.

If I had the quarter million dollars to spend on that gun,.. I’d want a hell of a lot more proof than is being offered….

@davidbaumann8683 Год назад

I agree with you. The proof is lacking tremendously . I would never bid bid on it from the provenance provided. I'd only bid on the fact that it's a Smith $ Wesson Schofield and that's it.

@davidsnapp7121 Год назад

Agreed. Jesse’s mother was constantly selling her son’s “guns” to tourists, so there’s a good chance this might be one of those.

@oceancowboy6981 Год назад

@soylentgreen7074 Год назад

Definitely seems likely it was a James gang gun. Just odd it’d have another member’s name on it. I wonder if he put it on there after Jesse’s death? Or did he carry it and not Jesse? I 99% believe it’s gang connected but not super convinced Jesse himself carried it. Either way still a fascinating piece of history being connected to the gang at all.

@davidbaumann8683 Год назад

Your kidding right. This is the lamest province Iv'e ever heard of on any famous gun. It came in a left handed holster that looks similar to a right hand holster that Jesse is wearing in a picture. So What! The reason Jesse's name isn't under the grips is because it was never his gun. It belonged to the guy that stamped his name on it. And they are saying that A. H. Ryan is a known gang member. I haven't found this name in any of the history I've found. I think this statement is made up too.

@rontouchet5258 10 месяцев назад

Mr. David You OWN the HOLY GRAIL OF ALL GUNS! I watched the History Channel twice of that gun! When you took the grips off that gun, I was like dang, that’s Jesses handwriting! And I’m no certified signature Authenticator, I’ve also seen a lot of JJ signatures, and even I can tell it’s JJ signature! I sure wish you could’ve received the paperwork for that gun. But it is true that Frank did get the gun from Zerelda, Jesses wife. Thank and God Bless

@theodorehowe2262 5 месяцев назад

The pistol up for auction is of the time period that may have been used by Jesse James but to me three isn’t enough providence to say it truly was. Still a great piece of history.

@biggusdickus5986 Год назад

I have a copy of this gun, very nice to hold and shoot, very quick to eject and reload, especially with a speed loader.

My dad's dads side married into the James family my grandpas great aunt married Samuel James who was a close realitive to the James family and we're from the southern Indiana side that lead into Ohio and would travel back in fourth, So possibly The family from Ohio that has ties to them could be my grandpas family.

Provenance is a little thin.

@DK-gy7ll Год назад

I agree. It's like all the pictures that have surfaced in recent years purportedly of Billy the Kid. Sure a lot of them look like him, but there were a lot of young men who did so you can't go by that.

Not so much the gun but Schofield himself. D.B. Wesson and George Schofield had a personality conflict hence the Schofield Model didn't see much promotion.

Only thing that came out of Missouri that was good was Frank and Jesse James. They took it from da rich and gave it to da poor.

@davidbaumann8683 Год назад

This isn't Jesse's revolver. Your provenance is based on a picture of a right hand holster that Jesse owned and this left hand holster is just similar in appearance. And the grip strap being stamped with A. H. Ryan probably means the gun belong to A. H.. Ryan not Jesse. Jesse probably never even held it in his hands.
