ENGRAVED COLT MODEL 1877 THUNDERER DA REVOLVER.

SN 71372. Cal. 41 Colt. Nickel finish with 5″ bbl, half moon front sight and 2-line address. Left side of frame has 3-line patent dates and left rear web of trigger guard has caliber markings. Mounted with 2-pc pearl grips. Revolver is very nicely engraved in New York style from the L.D. Nimschke shop. Engraving consists of foliate arabesque scrolls with pearled background on the frame, bbl and lands between the flutes on the cylinder. Sides of the trigger guard are engraved in snake & dot patterns with a fan at top of backstrap and geometric patterns down the backstrap and on the trigger bow. Ejector housing is probably an old replacement with half moon ejector rod head replacing the bulls-eye ejector rod head. The ejector rod screw hole in the stud has been drilled through into the bore. Base pin is a replacement. Although the Model 1877 was produced in fairly large numbers in three calibers with the 41 cal had rather low production and of those very few were engraved. The 1877 was a very popular revolver in its day and usually saw very hard frontier service with the famous & infamous. These are rarely found today in orig configuration with much orig finish. PROVENANCE: Thomas W. Connally Estate Collection. CONDITION: Fine to very fine. Overall retains about 93-95% nickel finish showing muzzle and high point wear. Cyl retains about 70% orig nickel; right grip has a repaired break with a small chip near the top otherwise grips are fine with great fire and color.
