Colt "Cop & Thug" New Police and the Model 1877 D.A

William Mason was the Colt gun designer behind the legendary model 1873 "Peacemaker", the "New-Line" series of pocket revolvers, which included the "House" &  "Cop & Thug" model pictured here, as well as the Model 1877 double action revolver, pictured below, on the right,  which was Colt's very first double action revolver.

Flitz was the most recommended polish, and with some effort it really did a good job cleaning and protecting the antique nickel finish!
