Description:
Antique LETTERED Etched Panel COLT Model 1877 “THUNDERER” .41 REVOLVER
With SENECA Co., NEW YORK Holster & BADGE!
Here we present an Antique Lettered Colt Model 1877 “Thunderer” Revolver with the early etched panel barrel, manufactured in 1880. The factory letter confirms the revolver’s configuration when it was shipped to Schoverling, Daly & Gables of New York on September 1, 1880. This one comes with a very nicely preserved vintage double loop rig and deputy sheriff’s badge from Seneca County, New York. The back of the badge is marked “S.H.REESE/57 WARREN ST./NEW YORK NY”.
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 fine. Original nickel finish with nice nitre blue accents on the back of the hammer and trigger. Excellent action and lockup. The bore is shiny bright with excellent rifling. The rampant colt trademarked grips are near fine. The holster is in very good condition and makes a great display (would not recommend using the holster in order to preserve it). A great example of an early lettered Colt Thunderer with a nice holster!
