Colt Model 1877 ''Lightning'' Double Action Revolver, with holster, #32538, .38 Colt CF cal., 4-5/8'' barrel with ejector, 6-shot fluted cylinder, loading gate correctly batch numbered ''17'', two-piece checkered hard rubber ''bird's head'' grips having the ''Rampant Colt'' logo within an oval at top. Mfg'd 1881, likely in full nickel-plated finish as here presented. Condition is good retaining most of a re-nickeled finish (except hammer with approx. 40% bright blue and polished sides), with softened but clear markings. Hard rubber grips show smooth wear to checkering and Colt logo with a large chip out at bottom right side. Action is surprisingly crisp in both single- and double actions; bore is clean with discernible rifling. Tooled russet leather holster is in very good condition showing light age and is marked ''38'' (caliber) and ''6'' (barrel length) on rear belt loop. Est.: $350-$550. (Antique)
