Description:
The Colt 1877 "Lightning" was made from 1877 to 1909, with over 166,000 manufactured.  The 6-shot revolvers were fitted with either a 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, 3, 3 1/2, 4, 4 1/2, 5, or 6 inch barrel, with or without ejector, blue and color case-hardened or nickel finished, and chambered in .38 Colt.  This 1900 vintage "Lightning" is as described and is fitted with a 6 inch barrel and is blue/color case-hardened finished.  It is in excellent original condition, retaining 85% of its original blue finish, with most thinning on the cylinder, back-strap, and ejector rod housing.  The frame retains 80% of its original color case-hardened finish, with most thinning on the top-strap and loading gate.  The bore looks like new and the action functions perfectly with a tight lock-up.  The grips have turned a pleasing brown, have sharp checkering and they fit very well.  Comes with a Colt factory letter stating the gun was shipped on January 31, 1900 to Colt's Patent Fire Arms Mjg. Company San Francisco Agency in San Francisco, California.   A fantastic example of its type.                                       PRICE:   $3,250      We are Antique & Modern Firearms in Lexington, KY, dealer of fine firearms since 1974.   PH. 859-276-1419         We Buy, Sell and Trade Firearms & Knives.    Have a Individual Firearm,  Firearms Collection, or Firearms Estate to sell, let us know, we can buy or consignment sell it for you.       (sales at am-firearms)
