$1,900.00

GR-0226-6818, Colt Model 1878 Frontier Six Shooter.  44-40 DA revolver.  Functional  crisp tight mechanics in both DA and SA. Serial number 17,xxx. Made in 1886. The gun retains 70% original nickel on the frame and cylinder. The barrel should have an etched panel in this serial number range. There is no way the nickel on the barrel is less that 100 years old though. I think the gun was most likely returned to the factory and rebarreled at some point. It could be the barrel off of a later gun, the condition matches perfectly though. I think the barrel has been on this frame a very long time.  There are numbers under the left grip 3 1 6, S&W marked gun like this Meaning it was returned to the factory March of 1916. I am not sure if Colt did the same thing. The gun has fire blue screw heads and thin nitre blue on the hammer. Crisp checkered grip with fine fit to backstrap.  The barrel is 4 3/4 inches. The bore is bright, shiny and crisply rifled with very fine spots the length of the bore. Very good bore.  

Est. Retail Value: $2300

Shipping Policy

We accept Check, Money Order, Credit Card, Wire, etc.

If you send a Cashier’s Check or Money order, items will get shipped immediately. If you send a personal check, we will wait for the check to clear before shipping.

CREDIT CARD FEES: Domestic: 3.5%. International: 6.0%

WIRES: If sending a wire add $30

INSURANCE: We will only insure through the mail carrier when specifically asked to.

Shipping does not include insurance through courier. We carry our own insurance but there is a $1000 deductible. If you would like your box insured through the shipping company, the cost is $10 and you add an additional $1 for every hundred dollars’ worth of insurance that you want. $1000 insured value = $20. We do our best to package items as secure as we can, in the previous 6 years we have had 3 guns broken (all 3 were muskets) and we have shipped thousands of guns. USPS is difficult to get money out of even if you do insure through the USPS.

Cost: US $1 per $100 in value, plus $10. Ex. $1500 Insurance = $15 + $10 = $25
