Colt 1878 .32 WCF SN: 29841
'Frontier' Double action six-shot revolver chambered in .32-20 Winchester, circa 1892. Features a nickel plated finish, 5 1/2" barrel with single line address, ejector rod, blade front sight, v-notch rear sight, smooth trigger, smoothed hammer spur, fluted cylinder, swing-out loading gate, no lanyard loop and custom two-piece checkered plastic bird's head grips. Includes a Colt factory letter confirming it's configuration(minus the grips) and stating it was shipped to E. C. Meacham Arms Company in St. Louis, Missouri on March 9, 1892 in a one gun shipment. Revolver exhibits approximately 10% of it's original nickel plated finish showing what look like vice marks on the barrel, pitting on the ejector rod housing, and patina on the frame. Replacement parts include the ejector rod & housing, cylinder pin release button, sideplates and possibly some screws. The hole for the lanyard ring has been filled in with metal. Action does not work as the trigger does not reset unless forced & the hammer will not cock in single action, bore is good with some light pitting and custom grips are very good. Condition is fair to good. ***Antique Firearm***
