Colt Country | Home of The Almighty Colt

Nothing really outrageous, but still interesting.  In this old series I have called The Blue and the Grey, the year is 1860 and the Father is trying to give his travelling son a New Police Model.  The year is right -barely- but curiously the stock is only oiled and the strappings are not plated in silver.

It s  fun seeing this stuff and picking it out.  No big deal, it s  always great to see the Colts and others in these shows. Even if the details are buggered up a little.

In the Dragoon book,-

I think it s  James E. Serven

Here s  something interesting,-

In one of my Colt Blackpowder boxes, the pamphlet is printed out of order. Not assembled out of order, but printed out of order.
Opening it, the Dragoons are presented. In the middle are the pages with the Walker, others and the accessories. The 60 Army is the last page.

Curious to discover these little anomalies. Like the Walkers with the wierd S#s and Colt s  Patent  frame stamp.

-----------------------------------------------------
That s  the pamphlet I m  talking about. The one that comes in the lid of the boxes.

I   m a y y y yyyyy   have aquired,   a h e m ,  a few of them , .

These 3 books are really informative.

Some of the most interesting are the cartridge converted Paterson and Walker!

You re  getting the Liege screwbarrel?!  I can t  wait to hear how you like its firing etc!

I have a blast with mine!

Be careful!  Once I fired it at a old and hardened 2 x 12 that was used for concrete forms. From 6' that fugg n  ball bounced off and hit me in the upper thigh. It broke the skin and bruised me.  Man!

At 12 yds though, it went right through one 1'' pine board and bounced heavily off the second one.

That s  right decent of you friend.

I m  on it!  I ll  check it.

Thank you.

tljack, 3 of them?! Authentic Colts?  Which models?  One could guess at,- 1st, 2nd and 3rd Dragoons?
Do you fire them?  Where did you get them?, and when?
