Scarce Antique COLT Model 1878 Hammer SHOTGUN Double Barrel Made in 1880 with Damascus Barrels
Description: Scarce Antique COLT Model 1878 Hammer SHOTGUN Double Barrel Made in 1880 with Damascus Barrels Here we present an antique Colt Model 1878 Double Barrel Hammer Shotgun, manufactured in Hartford, Connecticut in 1880. The Model 1878 was made from 1878 to 1889, with approximately 22,683 guns manufactured. These double barrel shotguns were an exposed hammer double gun that competed closely with high-end Parkers. The Colt Model 1878 Double-Barrel Hammer Shotgun is considered to be, if not the finest, one of the finest American double-barrel shotguns ever made. Manufactured from 1878-1889, the Model 1878 Shotgun was the highest priced item in the Colt line and was available in almost any grade as a special order item. This double trigger shotgun is a 12-gauge with 30 inch barrels. The length of pull is 14 inches. This one has an extractor. According to one source, “the Model 1878 Hammer Gun ranks among the best grade doubles produced in the entire American arms trade. The limited number completed and the great pains devoted to handling specific orders from often fussy shooters means that a considerable degree of quality and variety is evident in the Model 1878 series.” The overall condition is good. The wrist has been hand checkered. There is an old chip at the toe of the butt plate. Numbers match. Good Damascene pattern remaining on the barrels. The bores are serviceable, clean with light pitting. The actions are strong and crisp. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrels are 30 inches. Caliber: 12 Gauge Chambers: 2-3/4 inch LOP: 14 inches Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1350 #191010 SOLD Antique: Yes |
