This is a very fine example of a Colt Model 1877 sheriffs Double Action revolvers that was manufactured in 1888. As noted this revolver itself has the desirable 3 1/2 inch, ejector less barrel with the "acid etched" barrel panel caliber markings on the left side with the top marked with the slightly larger Colt factory two-line address. The left side of the frame has the three-line/three-patent dates, with no Colt logo. It has an all blued finish with a color casehardened frame. It has a nickel plated finish with niter blue small parts. It has the small round blade front and frame groove rear sight. The frame, trigger guard and back strap have matching serial numbers and the cylinder is unnumbered. The loading gate is marked with a partial assembly number "202". Accompanied by a survey sheet from Don Wilkerson listing the features and markings of the revolver.

Very fine with 75% plus of the original blue finish still remaining overall with the front grip strap having flaked and brown out with some thinning on the rear strap. The acid etched panel is excellent. The cylinder shows some minor browning with a slight drag line. The frame shows 40% of its case colors, fading overall. The grips are in very fine condition with nice distinct checkering and Colt markings. Mechanically fine.
