Description:
COLT FRONTIER SIX-SHOOTER Model 1878 .44-40 Cal. DOUBLE ACTION Revolver C&R
Double Action .44-40 Colt Made Between 1898-1903
Here we present a C&R Colt Model 1878 Double Action Frontier Revolver, made circa the turn of the century in Hartford, Connecticut. This example is serial number 4*917, with the second digit obfuscated, making its production somewhere between 1898 and 1903. The M1878 was designed by William Mason, Colt's factory manager and Charles Brinckerhoff Richards, Superintendent of Engineering. The 1878 Frontier was a much larger and more reliable version of the Model 1877 Lightning and Thunderer, Colt’s first double action revolver. 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.
The top of the barrel is marked “COLT’S PT. F. A. MFG. CO./HARTFORD, CT. U.S.A.”.
The overall condition is good. Refinished some time ago. The action is strong. The bore is in good condition, clean with strong rifling. The grips are replacements that are in nice shape.
