This is a very fine example of a very scarce short "2 inch" barreled Colt Model 1877 DA Sheriff's model revolver. This rare revolver is accompanied by a Colt factory letter dated April 1980 that verifies the exact configuration of this pistol (short 2 inch barrel with nickel finish and rubber grips) and that it was shipped to Hartley & Graham May 23, 1882 in a lot of 25 revolvers. The top of the barrel is marked with: "COLT" and the left side has the standard etched panel marked "COLT D.A. 41". The left side of the frame has the standard Colt three line/three patent dates, and the rear upper left edge of the trigger guard is marked "41 CAL". It is fitted with the checkered Colt hard rubber grips with the Rampant Colt logo on the top. It has matching serial numbers on the frame, trigger guard and back strap with the "442" assembly number on the loading gate.

Very fine with 60% of the untouched original nickel plated finish overall with wear and flaking on the side of the frame, the muzzle and front edges of the cylinder. The grips are fine with distinct checkering showing wear on the sides. Mechanically excellent. A very fine, scarce, documented 2 inch Colt 1877 DA Thunderer Sheriff model revolver.
