Description:

This is a very fine example of a Colt Model 1877 Double Action revolver with attractive grips. This fine revolver has the four inch barrel with an ejector on the side with the "bullseye" ejector rod head. The top of the barrel has the standard short two line Hartford barrel address with "COLT. D.A. 38" on the left side and the three-line, three-patent dates on the left side of the frame followed by the circled Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard and back strap. The loading gate is marked with the assembly number "8". Fitted with blade front and frame notch rear sights. It has a blued finish on the metal parts with a color casehardened frame.

Rating Definition:

Very fine with 70% of the original blue finish with wear and thinning on the grip straps and trigger guard. The frame retains 20% of the case colors. The grips are very good with a nice aged yellow appearance with cracks and chips on the lower edges of the grips with a 1 1/2 inch crack on the lower left grip. Mechanically excellent.
