THE STORY OF SAM COLTS REVOLVER THE BIOGRAPHY OF COL. SAM COLT by William B. Edwards 1957. 420 pages. I'm guessing this book has every Colts patent known in 1957. Also tremendous amounts of correspondence. Its full of original parts lists, how to clean, load etc. Text goes into great detail regarding Colt's personal and business life.
Paterson Colt Pistol Variations 1979. Philip R. Philips nd R.L. Wilson. 232 pages. Color photos and considerable text. Some overlap with next book but mainly about Philips' Paterson collection.
The Paterson Colt Book. 2001. R.L. Wilson. 322 page. This book is a work of art! Outstanding color photos of most surviving Paterson revolvers (my guess about that). Also text goes deep into historical information.
I offer these for $90 for the three books plus $20 shipping to lower 48 states. ($110 total)
