Description:
***SOLD*** Colt Model 1878 Hammer Shotgun 12ga side-by-side, dated to 1883. This shotgun features the timeless classic workmanship of Colt craftsman, with finely cut checkering on the walnut funriture, which appears to have its unaltered original finish, along with a silver cartouche on the underside of the stock. The metal hardware has lost most of its finish and patina'd a bit over the years, and there are a few small areas where a wire wheel may have been used, particularly on the left barrel by the receiver, and on one of the barrels locking lugs. Otherwise, the receiver, lock assemblies are sporting a beautiful floral engraving pattern, along with the outer surfaces of the trigger guard and forend iron. The shotgun is in excellent working order, with loud ringing barrels, a rock-solid barrel-to-receiver fit, and very crisp and solid hammer locking mechanisms. The bores look to be in good shape with a few spots of minor pitting in areas of the surface, which is to be expected with a gun of this vintage. Please refer to the photos to further assess the condition of the shotgun. Chokes modified and improved modified, 14" LOP. A must-have for a lover of old Colts, or antique guns in general! No FFL required.
