His presentation was titled “Are Antique Guns a Good graph to his audience, listing 16 classifications of antique firearms by Investment?” I discovered his speech among the copious books and value and their ranking, with Colt firearms being the leaders in catalogues I had accumulated in years of collecting. It was not the title appreciation due to their popularity. Colts would continue to hold this that first caught my attention, because I felt that I already knew the exalted position for the next fifty-plus years, with Winchesters eventually answer, but the year it was presented. The 1950s were a decade that I reaching parity. could relate to. This is when my collecting adventures began amid surging While Serven’s investment calculations comparing gun values with interest in antique guns and sage warnings that prices were too high. conventional financial instruments, such as real estate, were of some 1958 was the midpoint to where we are today, and the vantage point merit, his identification of the subtle changes in gun values influenced from where Serven would answer his own question.

  • Deadlands Armory—Revolvers.”
    Rifles Part III. Magazines In Motion: Revolvers, Turrets, & Harmonicas Revolving Magazines The nineteenth century was a time of great mechanical innovation, marked by thousands of inventive creators seeking patents for all manner of curiously-engineered devices. Firearms were no exception, and a glance at any “weird weapons” collection reveals dozens of oddities, often stamped between 1820–1860. Many of these utilized some form of revolving magazine, whether a cylinder, a cluster of barrels, a turret, or some form of rotary chain. This introduction offers a short history of the revolver, followed by profiles for the more unique, popular, or interesting repeaters that use some form of moving magazine. A more detailed history of revolvers and the Colt patent is found in “Deadlands Armory—Revolvers.” Pepperbox Guns The general mechanism of a revolving magazine evolved from the “pepperbox” gun of the early nineteenth century. A pepperbox gun features a cluster of smooth-bore barrels which are rotated into position and fired individually. Predating the advent of the cartridge, pepperbox guns are muzzle-loaded, and require a separate primer charge for each barrel. Pepperbox guns began fading in popularity before the Civil War, replaced by the more efficient percussion revolver. The Percussion Revolver One of the most significant innovations in firearm design, a revolver features a cylindrical magazine that holds each round in an individual chamber. The first modern revolver was designed by Elisha Haydon Collier in 1814, and was a self-priming flintlock with a manually- rotated cylindrical magazine. Having been exposed to the Collier revolver during a voyage abroad, Samuel Colt made the critical innovation that earned him one of the century’s most famous patents—a revolving cylinder that was mechanically rotated.

  • From the Beginning: Patent Arms Manufacturing Co., "Colts Patent"
    From the Beginning: Patent Arms Manufacturing Co., "Colts Patent" by John Castro It was interesting to note, in doing the research for this paper, how much greater is the knowledge available now than in 1934, which was much closer to the beginning than this, the current date. One would think that records would have been more available forty-five years ago. I refer to a monograph by William Renwick, on The Folding Trigger Paterson Colt, published in 1934. This was for several years the most in-depth work done on the Colt Paterson Pistol. However, since the advent of the Sutherland-Wilson book on Colt firearms, a whole new wealth of information has been gleaned relative to Colt's beginning. As a point of interest and explanation to my statement about time lapse, there are probably about a million more people involved in antique weapons today, both in collecting and documenting, than in 1934. Therefore, guns and gun-related material have been turned up that shed new light on the subject. As an example of error on the part of Mr. Renwick, in the officials in the government or private enterprise, wherever he preface to his paper, he depicted a drawing and a picture of felt it would do the most good in fostering sales. Another device what he termed the inventor's model. The drawing was in fact used by Colt was to display at fairs and similar exhibitions. He the prototype or the John Pearson "Inventor's Model," but the also gave shooting exhibitions to promote sales, visited gun picture shown and purported to be the same gun was in fact a #5 stores, met with sportsmen and people of influence whenever pistol or what is known today as the holster (Texas Paterson) possible.
