z Sold Copy of the Colt 1877 Lightning,

This revolver was manufactured in Belgium by an unknown maker and is a copy of the Colt 1877 Lightning, and marketed in the US in the late 19th century. Mechanically it stands up better than the Lightning. It is a 6 shot double action with a 4 3/4 inch Barrel. The finish shows 35% blue remaining. The original grips are intact with a small chip but no cracks. The bore is bright with no pitting and very strong rifling. It is mechanically perfect and lock up is tight. Chambered for the .38 Long Colt Cartridge. It will also fire the .38 Short Colt cartridge which is still produced by Remington Arms Company. There are also some other manufacturers of Cowboy Action Shooting ammunition that produce both the .38 Long and Short cartridges. The left side of the barrel is marked "for 38 Long Colt's CF Cartridges" Special S&W Ctgs." It has the look of a small Colt SAA. Must be shipped to an FFL Dealer.
