Description:
NICE Antique COLT M1877 “Etched Panel” SHERIFF’S MODEL “THUNDERER” Revolver

NICKEL FINISH Double Action Colt Made in 1886

Here we present an antique Colt Model 1877 Etched Panel “Sheriff’s Model” Thunderer Double Action Revolver, made in 1886 in Hartford, Connecticut. A sheriff’s model is a short, no-ejector revolver. Colt initially made the Single Action Army in this style in the late 1800s. The Model 1877 was Colt’s first double-action revolver, and it sold well—166,849 units between 1877 and 1909. Despite its success, many still preferred the trusted single-action design. Notable users of the Lightning included Billy the Kid, John Wesley Hardin, and Doc Holliday. Early in his career, Doc carried an 1851 Colt Navy, but later he favored a nickel-plated .41 Colt Thunderer or a .38 Colt Lightning.

Not only cultural icons of their time, this series of Colt revolvers has also made many modern appearances in pop culture. Featured in movies like “Tombstone” and both Volumes of “Kill Bill”, it’s not a wonder that such a classic revolver has found its way into video games! Most famously, a Model 1877 Lightning and Thunder can be unlocked in “Assassin's Creed Syndicate”.

The overall condition is nearing fine. Much of the original nickel is preserved, with the frame housing a gray patina. The action is strong, but intermittently needs manual trigger rest from the user. The bore is mostly bright with sharp rifling. Visible numbers match. Both grips are solid and have worn checkering. Markings are legible except for the number on the butt.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 3-1/2 inches.
