A used book in excellent condition. Stock photo shown. At long last the chronically misunderstood COLT BREVETE has been competently and thoroughly studied in this comprehensive treatise. BREVETE, the Belgian/French word for patent, can be found marked on many licensed (and unlicensed) antique counterparts and duplications of Samuel Colt's Hartford made percussion revolvers. This book is a comprehensive study of hundreds of mid-19th Century copies of Colt's percussion revolvers. These firearms were both authorized by the Colt factory or were outright infringements of Colt's patents. Accompanying the text are hundreds of photos with detailed facts for every revolver shown. This book has been endorsed by the American Society of Arms Collectors.

Printed on fine paper, hard bound in 12-1/4" x 10-1/4" format with 361 pages, all full color.
