Colt patent

[tom in nc]

I believe the anniversary of Colt's first US patent was earlier this week, Feb 25. I would have liked to celebrate by buying another reproduction Colt revolver for my collection. My wanted list includes a Colt Patterson, a .31 caliber pocket pistol, and a big boy, like maybe a Colt Walker. I enjoy my 1860 Army that I've had for 53 years and the couple of 1851 Navies that I have bought since then. But, I love my Remington revolvers too.

Yep, Colt's first US patent was on Feb 25, 1836! Sounds like you’ve got a solid collection already. A Colt Paterson would be a sweet addition, but that Walker would definitely be a beast! Love the 1860 Army too—classic piece. Remingtons are great as well, can’t go wrong either way!
