That Schofield is... The Schofield is a S&W Custom Shop reintroduction. It is chambered in .45 Schofield, of course. The "Dirty Harry" gun above it is actually a M27 .357 mag, not a M29 in .44 mag. My son won the Schofield in a raffle and I bought it from him at the going rate. Since...- Caz

Western, anyone?
Nice Rand hat... Spencer, I like your hat! Looks similar to mine. I had a Rand at one point...it was the Tom Horn and was "distressed" which I didn't care for. It was very fine beaver felt and looked very good but was a too big for me. I got my money out of it from a hat collector. Nice... -

Western, anyone?
As to exact era... I think the '30's or early '40's would be about right. Got the boots too and they are the short topped, high healed version that was popular in the same era. Thanks for the info on the brim edge! -
