Colt 1878 .44-40 SN: 23200
'Frontier' Double action six-shot revolver chambered in 44-40 Winchester, circa 1889. Features a blued finish, 5 1/2" barrel with single line address, ejector rod, blade front sight, v-notch rear sight, smooth trigger, checkered hammer spur, fluted cylinder, swing-out loading gate, no lanyard loop and checkered two-piece Colt hard rubber bird's head grips. Revolver exhibits little remaining finish with the majority of the metal surfaces bearing a grey patina with scattered dark oxidation. The caliber stamp on the trigger guard is sharp, serial number is soft, and barrel address is faint/incomplete. The cylinder pin release button has partially been replaced by a flat head screw. Action functions as it should other than the cylinder not rotating consistently, bore is good and grips are worn semi-smooth with a repair to the left panel. Condition is good. ***Antique Firearm***
