Product Description
Antique LETTERED COLT Model 1878 “FRONTIER” .45 Cal. DOUBLE ACTION Revolver
- LOUIS, Missouri SHIPPED in 1890!
Here we present an antique Lettered Colt Model 1878 Double Action Frontier Revolver, made in 1890 in Hartford, Connecticut, and shipped to Simmons Hardware in St Louis, Missouri on March 21, 1890 with 4 others.
The Model 1878 was designed by William Mason, Colt’s factory manager and Charles Brinckerhoff Richards, Superintendent of Engineering. It 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 overall condition is near fine. Original nickel finish. Strong action. The bore is bright and nicely rifled. Both grips are in good shape with an expected amount of wear. Numbers match.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
