c1881 mfr. Antique COLT Model 1878 10 Gauge Side by Side HAMMER SHOTGUN SxS
Scarce Colt Double Gun in 10 Gauge
Here we present an antique Colt Model 1878 Double Barrel Hammer Shotgun, manufactured in Hartford, Connecticut in 1881. The Model 1878 was made from 1878 to 1889, with approximately 22,683 guns manufactured. These double barrel shotguns were an exposed hammer double gun that competed closely with high-end Parkers. The Colt Model 1878 Double-Barrel Hammer Shotgun is considered to be, if not the finest, one of the finest American double-barrel shotguns ever made. The Model 1878 Shotgun was the highest priced item in the Colt line and was available in almost any grade as a special-order item. This double trigger shotgun is a 10-gauge solid rib with 31-1/4 inch barrels.
According to one source, “the Model 1878 Hammer Gun ranks among the best grade doubles produced in the entire American arms trade. The limited number completed and the great pains devoted to handling specific orders from often fussy shooters means that a considerable degree of quality and variety is evident in the Model 1878 series.”
The overall condition is good+. Patina throughout. The actions are excellent. The bores are a bit dim with a very light texture throughout. Everything is solid and locks up nicely. The walnut stock is solid with signs of much use. Numbers match. Here is a scarce and early example of one of Colt’s Model 1878 Shotgun in 10 Gauge!
