The Taylor’s & Company Schofield top-break revolver (brand part no. 550675) is a single-action .44-40 Winchester reproduction with a 5-inch barrel and a six-round cylinder, built by Uberti. Major George Schofield designed the original to be run with one hand from horseback, and the barrel latch opens with a thumb pull so all six cases eject together. This version has a forged steel frame in nickel plating, nickel-plated parts and two-piece walnut grips with a cartouche. The half-fluted cylinder and a blade front sight with a rear notch cut into the latch keep the profile authentic. For a cowboy action competitor or Old West collector, it is a historically faithful top-break that shoots like the original.
