COLT MODEL 1878 FRONTIER DA REVOLVER.

SN 37927. Cal. 32 WCF (32-20). Blue finish with 4-3/4″ bbl, reduced front sight and 2-line address with cal marking on left side. Left rear lower side of frame has Rampant Colt in a circle. Mounted with Rampant Colt hard rubber birdhead grips and has a lanyard swivel in the buttstrap. The model 1878 was fairly popular due to its resemblance to it’s predecessor, the Single Action Army and large frame size, along with the fact that it was chambered for cartridges compatible with Winchester lever action rifles. They usually saw hard service and are rarely found today with high orig finish. PROVENANCE: Tommy Rholes Estate Collection. CONDITION: Good to very good, all matching except grips which are unnumbered. Revolver retains traces of orig finish in sheltered areas being mostly a worn gray metal patina with fine pinprick pitting on bbl, ejector housing & frame; right grip has a repaired break, otherwise they are sound and show heavy wear, turned chocolate. Mechanics are fine; bright shiny bore. 4-50541 JR344 (1,000-1,500) – Lot 1310
