BidProwl Summary
Colt Model 1878 Double Action Frontier revolver, .44-40 WCF caliber with 7-1/2" barrel, serial 38922, manufactured 1898: bore strong with mostly good to excellent rifling, but metal finish throughout is heavily worn gray patina with scattered rust spots and scratches, cylinder mismatched to frame. Collectors and serious vintage firearms dealers pursue these pieces for historical value and authentication, though condition heavily impacts pricing in this category. Verify the action cycles smoothly through full range, inspect the mismatched cylinder fit and play, examine rust spots on cylinder for pitting depth, and have the bore and mechanics assessed by a qualified gunsmith before committing.

Description from HiBid
Serial # 38922. .44-40 WCF caliber double action revolver with a 7-1/2” barrel. The bore is very good to excellent, mostly clean with strong rifling and slight roughness in the grooves. Made in 1898. The metal finish on the barrel is a worn gray patina with scattered scratches and light dings; there is little to no original finish remaining. The metal finish on the 6 shot fluted cylinder is a worn gray patina as well with scattered spots of older cleaned rust. The cylinder is mis-matched to the frame. The metal finish on the frame is a worn gray patina with edge wear and scratches. There are traces of original finish that are turning brown. The Rampant Colt is visible on the left side of the frame at the lower rear. The checkered brown gutta percha grips are in very good to excellent condition showing light wear. The action seems to work OK. Made from 1878-1905
