  • Description:

    SN 87112 is an antique Colt Thunderer built in 1892.  This revolver shows a 4 1/2" barrel in 41 Colt.  This revolver shows the same specs as the 1877 Lightning but was built in 41 Colt caliber only.  This example shows all matching serial numbers and a bright very good bore.  The revolver shows traces of original blue in the protected areas and trace of case colors on the frame.  As with the Lightning these models show a notorious complicated and weak action.  This example works with a sound crisp. It functions in double action but with a much harder trigger pull.  The grips are sound but show wear assocated with handling and to a lesser extent from actual usage. The Colt Thunderer is a far scarcer revolver than the 1877 Lightning model.  This example shows clear barrel markings and traces of case color on the frame.  All the component parts are matching.  This 1892 example has been deregistered and is now in antique status where no permit is required to purchase or own.
