This book discusses the critical events and discoveries that dominated the development of firearms, from the introduction of gunpowder to the West in 1258 to 1877. Particular attention is paid to Samuel Colt's invention of the world's first practical repeating firearm and the subsequent fight over the patent for the modern breech-loading revolver that was controlled by Smith & Wesson. Included are recently unearthed and startling revelations that will have historians questioning much of what they thought they knew.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. 134 pages. Pictorial hardcover published without a dust jacket. This book discusses the critical events and discoveries that dominated the development of firearms, from the introduction of gunpowder to the West in 1258 to 1877. Remarkably, it reveals for the first time the Great Smith & Wesson Patent Hoax that made them a fortune and the means by which Colt later turned the tables and saved the company from financial ruin. The patent was the famous Rollin White Patent for the breech-loading revolver which was controlled by Smith & Wesson at the time. Included are recently unearthed and startling revelations that will have historians questioning much of what they thought they knew. Also, the story of Colt's Open Top .22. Excellent.
