c1881 Antique COLT Model 1878 FRONTIER .45 Long Colt DOUBLE ACTION Revolver
.45 Caliber Colt Made in 1881
Here we present an antique Colt Model 1878 Double Action Revolver, made in 1881 in Hartford, Connecticut. It is often referred to as the "Frontier" or the "Double Action Army" revolver. The Model 1878 was designed by William Mason, Colt's factory manager and Charles Brinckerhoff Richards, Superintendent of Engineering.
The 1878 Double Action Frontier was a much larger and more reliable version of the Model 1877 Lightning and Thunderer, Colt’s first double action revolvers. The 1878 Frontier also offered a much more comprehensive array of calibers, compared to the 1877’s three offerings. Despite all of this, the Model 1877 was clearly the popular favorite as over 166,000 were produced versus 51,210 of the Model 1878 made between 1878 through 1907, including 4,600 for the U.S. Ordnance Department. These are known as the "Philippine" or "Alaskan" models.
The overall condition is near fine. Old refinish in nickel. The action is excellent with solid cylinder lockup. The bore is in good condition with nice rifling. The walnut grips are nicely checkered and solid.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 7-1/2 inches.
