Colt Model 1878 Double Action Revolver

Manufactured in 1902. The barrel is marked with the two-line Hartford address on top and "38 W.C.F." on the left side. Fitted with fixed blade and notch sights and a full length ejector housing. The left side of the frame is marked with a small, circled Rampant Colt logo. The checkered hammer, smooth trigger and screws are all finished in a brilliant nitre blue. Fitted with checkered Rampant Colt grip. The cylinder is numbered to the frame, and the frame and loading gate are both marked with assembly number "200".

ConditionExcellent with 95% of the bright original high polish blue finish and most of the nitre blue on the small parts. The barrel shows some light muzzle wear as well as on some of the edges and high points. The frame shows some small amounts of light spotting, and the cylinder shows some surface rust and light pitting as well as a faint drag line. The grips are excellent with some light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
