Material on the personal life of Colonel Colt and a great deal of new technical information on his arms appear here for the first time. Well illustrated with photographs, contemporary drawings, patent papers and advertising cuts not previously illustrated. The publication of this book and the opening of his arms collection to the public in 1964 are in conjunction with the 150th anniversary of Colonel Colt's birthday.
