Colt Model 1877 ''Lightning'' Double Action Revolver, with holster, #23584, .38 Colt CF cal., 6'' barrel made without ejector, 6-shot fluted cylinder; loading gate correctly batch-numbered ''388''; early style one-piece checkered rosewood ''bird's head'' grips. Mfg'd 1880, in blued and case hardened finishes. Condition is good retaining no original finish (except hammer with bright blue and polished sides) and an overall gunmetal gray color that was likely cleaned over light pitting, as markings are weak. Rosewood grips show even wear to checkering with a dent on right side and a chip out at bottom of left. Action is surprisingly smooth and crisp in both single- and double actions; bore is dark with discernible rifling. Russet leather holster with floral tooling is in very good condition showing light age and loose stitching for about 1'' at opening. The 6'' barrel length Lightning revolver made without an ejector is considered quite rare. Est.: $500-$750. (Antique)
