Here is a book that is a welcome addition to the bookshelves of the antique gun collecting fraternity. '51 Colt Navies is the first antique gun book devoted entirely to the Model 1851 Colt Navy - one of the most popular Colt antique models. After six years of research, and fourteen months of writing, the author gives you the full story of the '51 Navy. This book has approximately 167 plates. These plates show approximately 220 individual photos-not just a lot of "pretty" '51 Navies to fill up space, for each photo shows a model, sub-model, variation, marking, exterior part, as well as charts, letters, maps, documents, etc. Each plate is discussed in the text. All of the Hartford models and sub-models are pictured and described. The three London models are pictures and described also. U.S. Martials (U.S. Army and U.S. Navy), foreign martials (England, Austria, Canada, and AUstralia), 4 screw cut for stock models, metallic cartridge models, and Brevetes are included. Each exterior part (with variations) is pictured and explained. Hitherto unknown information - such as the full story behind Commodore Moore's naval battle as depicted on the cylinder scene - is scattered throughout the book. Of particular interest to Colt collectors is the chapter devoted to serial number ranges
