Colt Model 1878 Double Action Frontier Revolver

Manufactured in 1898. The barrel has the one line Hartford address on top and "45 COLT" on the left side. The left side of the frame has a circled Rampant Colt. The partial serial number "333" is located on the back of the cylinder and the assembly number "50" is on the left side of the frame under the grip and loading gate. Blue finish with niter blue trigger and hammer. Fitted with checkered Rampant Colt grips.

ConditionExcellent as modified (see below). The revolver retains 97% plus bright original blue finish showing minor holster type wear and the trigger guard and grip straps thinning to a gray. The back strap has two plugged holes, evenly spaced, possibly for a mounting display bracket or a shoulder stock. The cylinder has a few very small patches of light pitting. The hammer and trigger guard retain 85% original niter blue finish. The grips are fine with some minor handling marks and some wear in the overall crisp checkering.
