Product Description
A Guide To The Proper Accoutrements For Hartford Produced Percussion Colt Revolvers.

An important, but little researched area of Colt collecting concerns the correct accessories for percussion Colt revolvers. In fact, over 90% of the cased Colts observed have the wrong accoutrements accompanying them.

Now in a concise, compact book (only 56 pages) which is filled with crystal clear photos, you can select the proper accessories every time. You'll learn about bullet moulds, cartridge packets, nipple wrenches, flasks, cap tins and much more. For hands free reference work, the book has a spiral binding so it will lay open flat to any page.

Each major model percussion Colt (1849 Pocket, 1851 Navy, 1860 Army, etc. ) has its own chapter for quick and easy referral.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide to Percussion Revolver Accessories, January 24, 2007

By	G. L. Nelson (Kingsport,TNUnited States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is aimed at the advanced collector of original Colt Percussion Revolvers, and it covers the subject of revolver accessories concisely and superbly.

However, this book will also be useful to Living Historians, and to those of us who shoot replica percussion revolvers, by helping us to outfit the replicas in the manner of the originals. Those bitten by the history bug, understand how important it is to "accurately walk in the footsteps" in order to have an authentic history experience, or to put together an accurate historical display. This book is a great guide to the accessories that came with the percussion revolvers of the 1840's 50's and 60's.
