The collecting of those military issued Colt revolvers which were used by the U.S. Cavalry duing the Indian Wars, and their counterparts the "Artillery" revolvers which had been issued to the troopers of the Spanish American War, have today become one of the "hottest" areas of Colt collecting. Those Cavalry revolvers which may have some remote connections to the U.S. Seventh Cavalry have intensified in popularity and their values skyrocketed. Today's collector is now able to tap into several outstanding resources on which to establish the necessary information required to successfully pursue his dream of owning just one "Custer Colt." This book has through the years become one of the best resources available for the student collector on which to build his collection. Many provocative areas are covered, including; "The Ainsworth Cavalry Revolvers"; "The 1875 Ordnance Sub-Inspected Models"; "The Colt Artillery Revolvers"; "The New York Militia Revolvers"; "Condemned, Overrun, and Buy-back Revolvers", but by far one of the most relevant chapters for today's collector is "The Fakes Facsimilies & Frauds." Eighteen chapters alone delve into finite detail on these "U.S." inspected Colts. Along with the above, we have been the most impressed with the fourteen chapters which were written by the outstanding military historian, the late Dr. H. Sterling Fenn. These chapters deal in detail with the "Custer" or Seventh Cavalry issued revolvers. Many known "Custer" associated revolvers are illustrated and specific serial numbers provided. Probable serial number ranges are detailed. An outstanding reference book. Very Scarce and igly sought after. Both the Book and the Dust Jacket are in Fine condition with only the very lightest use. An opportunity to own a beautiful copy of an important Colt Single Action Army Revolver reference book at a reasonable price. Inscribed by Author.
