Type of stocks: Not Listed. Shipped to: E. C. Meacham Arms Co., St. Louis, Missouri. Date of Shipment: February 1, 1893.

The markings are sharp, action is crisp at time of description and the bore is very good +. The period pearl grips are in overall very good to fine condition showing an beautiful iridescent quality. This Model 1877 was returned to the Colt Factory as evidenced by the star marking on the trigger bow.

An additional letter accompanies this lot dated Dec. 18, 1985, and written by the late Dr. Richard C.
