Description:
Antique COLT Model 1877 “THUNDERER” .41 Long Colt Double Action REVOLVER
Provenance: Shipped to HARTLEY & GRAHAM of NEW YORK!
Here we present an Antique Colt M1877 “Thunderer” Revolver with an etched panel barrel, manufactured circa 1880.
The Factory Letter included confirms the serial number, caliber, barrel length, finish, stock and its September 5, 1883 date of shipment to Hartley & Graham of New York, New York, as part of a 25 gun shipment. Schuyler, Hartley & Graham was the largest firearm dealer in the United States in 1860. Jacob Rutsen Schuyler (1816-1887), Marcellus Hartley (1828-1902) and Malcolm Graham (1832-1899) incorporated their company on March 1, 1854. In 1876 Schuyler retired from the company and by 1880 they changed the name to Hartley and Graham.
The Model 1877 was offered in three different calibers, which led to the three unofficial names. The “Lightning” which was chambered in .38 Long Colt. The “Thunderer” which was chambered in .41 Colt. And, the “Rainmaker” which was chambered in .32 Colt. Neither "Lightning" nor "Thunderer" were Colt designations, and were not used by the factory in any reference materials. Both terms were coined by Benjamin Kittredge, one of Colt's major distributors. Kittredge was responsible for the term "Peacemaker" for the Colt Single Action Army. The 1877 "Thunderer" in .41 caliber was the preferred weapon of Billy the Kid and was his weapon of choice when he was killed by Pat Garrett in 1881.
The overall condition is good. The action functions, but the hammer sticks a little. The bore is semi-bright with a bit of dust. The bottom right grip has been chipped. This example would be a great addition to a collection!
