Antique Colt Lightning Medium Frame Slide Action 44-40 Rifle

This rifle was manufactured in 1888 and has the standard sporting sights, the two-line address and patent marking and "44 Cal." on the top barrel flat, the Rampant Colt trademark on the left side of the receiver, multi-point checkered pump handle, and smooth straight grip stock with a steel rifle buttplate.

ConditionFine, retains 40% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. There is some bright edge wear and scattered dings and scratches. The wood is also fine with numerous minor dents and scratches, a very small repair near the upper tang, and crisp grip checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
