Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 293 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. The tremendous 75-year success of Colt's Browning-designed Model of 1911, .45 caliber pistol was the result of fifteen years of steady design refinement. Colt's skill in manufacturing and maketing to the government and John M. Browning's inventive genius were complemented by a highly professional U.S. Army Ordnance Depatment. Together they formed a technlogical juggernaut which simply overran the competition in the quest fo adoption of the Model of 1911 as the nation's Government Model Pistol. This book tells the story of the exciting development proces in carefully researched detail. It is a story told with extensive illustrations of the prototype, military, contract, and commercial pistols which make up the family tree of the Government Model. Also presented here for the first time are complete shipping records of all martial and thousands of commercial big frame Colt autos through the last Transition Government Model of 1914. An excellent reference. Long out of print and getting harder to find. The prior owner's signature and date very neat and small on the inside front board. Otherwise, both the Book and the Dust Jacket are in Fine condition with only very light use. A very nice copy of a Scarce book at a reasonable price. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers JK007
