Colt 1851 and 1861 Navies & Conversions

Another Great Colt Book by Robert Jordan. If it's anything like his Colt Pocket 49 book, you can bet its a winner. This is sure to be the book by which all others will soon be judged. 900 sharp color photographs that show all of the markings and other details. Period photographs of those who used the guns. Covers both American and London Navies. The first new book on the Colt '51 Navy since the Nathan Swayze book written in 1967, and the Joseph Rosa book on the London Navy written in 1976. The only book on Colt 1861 Navies except for the small amount of information found in the larger survey books. Chapters include all of the models and variations of the '51 Navy - the First, Second, Early Third, Middle Third, Late Third, Early Fourth, Middle Fourth, and Late model Fourth. Navies with small iron trigger guards, US made Navies with Large iron trigger guards, the New Model 1861 Navies, Navies purchased by the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy, Nomenclature for 1851 and 1861 Navies, Nomenclature for Navy Conversions, Non-Military Navy Conversions, Thuer Conversions, London-Made Navies, U.S.-Made Navies Exported to England, U.S.-Made Navies Issued to the Kriegsmarine, U.S.-Made Navies exported to other countries, Navies with Attachable Stocks, Engraved Navies, Cased Navies, Inscriptions and Presentations, Accessories and Accoutrements, Production Dates and Serial Numbers, plus much more. Exceptionally well researched and very comprehensive. A very important new reference book for collectors and historians.
