Colt Lightning Medium Frame Slide Action Rifle

Manufactured in 1890. Brass blade front and adjustable semi-buckhorn style rear sights with the two line address/patents marking on the top flat ahead of the rear sight and "44 Cal." at the breech. The Rampant Colt is marked on the left side of the receiver, full length magazine, casehardened hammer and mounted with a checkered walnut forearm and smooth straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

ConditionVery fine. The rifle retains 60% original blue finish with the barrel fading to a plum, showing edge wear overall and some thinning to a smooth gray and brown patina. The wood is very good with some scattered minor dings and scratches, mainly on the stock, and a few minor bruises in the otherwise crisp checkering on the forearm. The markings are clear. The action is excellent.
