Title: A quirky fascinating book
Product review: This is a quirky but fascinating book. A must for any collector or aficionado of the Colt Single Action Army. The scholarship behind the book is somewhat questionable. David Brown deduces the calibre from what the Colt shipping records say, but the shipping record usually echoes the customer order. Thus Brown presents 44 Russian, 44 S&W Russian and 44 S&W as distinct chamberings. But they are the same chambering, just different styles of nomenclature in the Colt ledgers. Before 1907, 44 Russian and 44 S&W meant the same thing. After 1907, 44 Special and 44 S&W meant the same thing. But that aside, the book is a great buy and is recommended to any serious Colt collector.
