Colt 1878 .45 Cal SN: 8119
'Frontier' Double action six-shot revolver chambered in 45 Colt, circa 1882. Features a nickel plated finish, 4 3/4" 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, lanyard loop and checkered two-piece Colt hard rubber bird's head grips. Revolver exhibits approximately 60% of it's nickel plated finish showing scattered pin prick pitting on the frame & cylinder and some dark oxidation on the barrel. The caliber stamp on the trigger guard is sharp, serial number is crisp, and barrel address is faint but complete. The loading gate knob has been replaced with a flat-head screw. Action works well in double action but hammer fails to lock in the cocked position in single action, bore is very good with some light surface rust and grips are worn smooth with repairs on both panels. Condition is very good. ***Antique Firearm***
