Description:
Antique COLT LONDON Model 1878 .455 Caliber Revolver with PALL MALL ADDRESS

SCARCE 1880s Double Action in .455 Eley Caliber

Here we present an antique Colt Model 1878 Double Action Revolver, made circa the 1880s in Hartford, Connecticut and was shipped to Colt’s London Agency and is chambered in the .455 Eley—a harder one to find in this British cartridge! This revolver is often referred to as the "Frontier" or the "Double Action Army" revolver. The Model 1878 was designed by William Mason, Colt's factory manager and Charles Brinckerhoff Richards, Superintendent of Engineering.

The top of the barrel is roll-stamped in one line with Colt’s London Agency markings of “COLT’S PT.F.A. MFG. CO. HARTFORD CT. U.S.A. DEPOT 14. PALL MALL LONDON”.

The overall condition is fine. Original finish. The action is excellent and the cylinder locks up tight on each chamber. The bore is in great shape with strong rifling. The grips are solid. The number on the toe of the grip frame was effaced and a serial number of 116498 has been stamped on the left side of the frame and barrel. The back of the cylinder has the last 3 digits of the serial number 498 in common. There are London proofs on the barrel and in the flutes of the cylinder. A nice piece.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 5-1/2 inches.

Caliber: .455 Eley
