About this Item

428 pages. Here is the complete story of Colts first large frame double action revolver, the Model of 1878. This revolver was designed as the double action version of Colt's famed Single Action Army and shared much of its history. The Model 1878 saw action on America's frontier and throughout the world until production ceased in 1905. Major sections of the book cover history and development, physical characteristics and an in-depth study of each of the thirteen calibers with complete production figures for both standard and engraved revolvers. These detailed figures are broken down by caliber/barrel length/finish and type of stocks. Included is a comprehensive study of Omnipotent marked revolvers, Canadian Militia issues, revolvers in British calibers and the Model 1902, designed for the Philippine Constabulatory. Numerous color and half-tone photographs illustrate the text. While dedicated to the Model 1878 revolver, the text includes a wealth of information of general interest to all collectors of Colt revolvers manufactured from the early 1870s to 1905. Production techniques were similar for comparable models and the same standard shipping procedures applied to all models. There is something in this book for everyone. An excellent reference. This particular copy came out of the author's estate. He made neat penned notes/ corrections on 7 pages and on the inside back board. That is why I have rated the condition as Near Fine. Other than the author's notes for corrections in a possible later edition, the Book and Dust Jacket are As New. No later edition was ever published. An opportunity to own a very nice copy of a Scarce title at a reasonable price.
