Colt Model 1878 DA Frontier revolver, .38-40 cal., barrel reduced to 5-1/2", nickel plated, hard rubber grips, serial #27392. The revolver shows approximately 40-60% original nickel which is drifting and peeling and areas where metal is exposed have gone to a dark patina with some light to moderate erosion and pinprick pitting. The front sight has been reduced about half way, the markings are good, there is some marks on the edges of the cylinder. The grips are worn at the edges and show 2 large chips. The lanyard ring has been removed, the ejector rod head is a replacement and the cylinder pin has been drilled. The action is notworking properly and out of time, and also not holding on full cock, the bore is good. .38-40 cal. is somewhat scarce in the 1878 Model. Est.: $700-$1,400
