From
time to time all of us have yearned to have 'lived in other times.'
Maybe in times past when life was less complicated, when there were
fewer liberals, or when times offered more adventure. This most likely
is not true with Sam Colt. There has been no other period of time on
this good earth better suited for Colt's presence.
Col.
Colt's revolvers moved across the American frontier with trappers,
traders, gold rushers, sod busters, ranchers, lawmen, outlaws,
teamsters, railroaders and cowboys as our forefathers bore westward.
What would they have done if he was born in other times.
164
years later his firearms are realized as not mere mechanical armament,
but as works of art made from iron and steel. Today his original arms
are the most coveted by collectors of all the firearms world wide. Old
west aficionados like you and I seek replicas of his original works to
be used for sport shooting and old west competition. What would we do
if he had been born in other times??
