Antique COLT 1877 “Thunderer” Revolver Made 1883
Colt’s First Double Action Revolver
Here we present an antique Colt Model 1877 “Thunderer” Double Action Revolver, made in 1883 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Model 1877 was Colt’s first venture into double action revolvers. It was quite successful, selling 166,849 from 1877 through 1909, primarily in .38 and .41 calibers. Nonetheless, there was some hesitation to move away from the single action mechanism, which had so proven itself. Famous adopters of the Model 1877 were William “Billy the Kid” Bonney and John Wesley Hardin, two legendary names of the American West.
This revolver features a short 2-1/2 inch barrel and no ejector rod, sometimes called the “Shopkeeper”. The top of the barrel is marked “COLT’S PT/ F. A. MFG. CO./HARTFORD, CT. U.S.A.” The left side of the frame is marked “PAT. SEPT. 19, 1987/PAT. SEPT. 15, 1874/PAT. JAN. 19, 1875”.
The overall condition is near fine. 20% of the original blue finish is intact. The markings are clear and legible. The serial numbers match. The bore is in very good condition with strong rifling. The Colt trademark hard rubber grips are in great shape. The action on this revolver is excellent. Here is a very nice example of Colt’s first Double Action Revolver!
