Cockney Rebel Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Gunsmith special colt 1877 DA38 with, I believe, most of the missing parts. These revolvers have been quite maligned but, done right, are a strong gun. Unfortunately I just bit off more than I can chew with my very limited gunsmithing skills. Gun definitely looks like it’s been re-nickeled. looking for $400. I need to check serial number to see if this is antique or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus McDonald Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Cockney Rebel, if this is a pre-1899 manufacture, I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cockney Rebel Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 I just checked. The serial number is in 147000 range, putting it at 1903. I have a C&R license if you want to go that route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus McDonald Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 No, better count me out. Thanks for checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Two things: 1. Sal Lanara in Ohio can fix it right up. He is a wizard with the early Colt DA. He is the brother to Dave Lanara. If you need his contact info, let me know. 2. If this revolver was originally blued, there is a 75% chance that it was given out as a tobacco premium by Continental Tobacco or one of it's umbrella companies.. A Colt archive letter would tell the story. The Flora Dora Tag Company was the distributer for them. It took 1500-1800 tobacco tags to get one Colt 1877.
