Colt Model 1877 Thunderer Etched Panel Double Action Revolver
serial #45289, 41 Colt, 2 1/2'' barrel with a bright excellent bore showing a few minor oxidation speckles nearer the muzzle and otherwise crisp rifling throughout. This is a nice and honest little 1883-made short-barreled Thunderer, the metal surfaces retaining about 60% original nickel finish blending in rather nicely with the surrounding flaked areas that are mostly a mild gunmetal patina also showing some scattered mild gray-brown oxidation staining and speckling from the years. The ''COLT D.A. 41'' etched panel along the left side of the barrel remains mostly intact and the barrel address and patent dates along the frame are crisp. The sides of the trigger, back surface of the hammer and some of the screw heads also retain a healthy amount of bright fire blue. The black checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colts remain in very fine condition showing some scattered light dings and the bottom of the right panel showing a very nicely executed repaired chip that is only noticeable upon close inspection. The serialized parts are matching and the action seems to function well mechanically in both single and double action. This is an attractive revolver in classic ''storekeeper'' configuration.
