GOLD RUSH- Bodie California, the best preserved ghost town in the US, is located 50 miles south of Lake Tahoe near the Nevada border. Gold was discovered here in 1859; and ultimatelythe Bodie mines produced more than $100,000,000 worth of gold in 4 years. As a bustling gold mining center, Bodie had the amenities of larger towns, including two banks, four volunteerfire companies, a brass band, a railroad, mechanics and miners unions, several daily newspapers, and a jail. At one point 65 saloons lined the mile long Main Street of the home of theinfamous Bad man from Bodie. Murders, shootouts, barroom brawls and stagecoach holdups were regular occurrences here, and Colt Revolvers played a big part in peoples lives.Photo 2010 Photographernature.com

THE LEGEND LIVES ON!Introduced in 1873, no Colt revolver has earned greater fame than the Single Action

Army, The Peacemaker. In design and performance, in line and form, no more

sculptural and practical Colt has ever been created. Movies serve as constant reminders

of the role this equalizer played in winning the West.

Large numbers of knock-offs and look-alikes have never been able to replace the real

Colt. Records on the SAA Revolver are a Whos Who of action-oriented Americans of

the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Among others, they include such names as

Buffalo Bill Cody, Theodore Roosevelt, Judge Roy Bean, Pawnee Bill Lilly, Captain

Jack Crawford, Wyatt Earp, Pat Garrett, General George Patton and many others.

From its original design commencement in 1882, the Sheriff s & Storekeepers

Model was destined to be a frontrunner. For 2010, Colt carries on its tradition and

heritage of fine craftsmanship by reintroducing one of the original concealed carry

handguns with .45 caliber stopping power in a Nickel finish. Built on a black

powder frame, the Sheriff s Storekeeper copies its original concept in a 3 inch

Sheriff s, or 4 inch Storekeeper. Both calibers and barrel lengths include the

WALKER COLT Samuel H. Walker was a Texas Ranger Captain and military officer of the Republic of Texas and the United States armies. Walker served in several armed conflicts, including the American Indian War and the Mexican-American War. The WalkerColt was the largest and most powerful black powder repeating handgun ever made. It was created in the mid-1840s in collaboration between Captain Samuel Hamilton Walker (1815-47) and American firearms inventor Samuel Colt (1814-62), and builds upon the earlier Colt Patterson design. Only 1100 of these guns were initially made, which makes originals extremely difficult and expensive to obtain. Photo: The Center for American History, The University of Texas at Austin.

IF IT DOESNT SAY COLT, ITS ONLY A COPYWhile the Colt name is virtually synonymous with handguns, longarms were the first revolving firearms off of Sam Colts assembly line. Thats right! The first production model

of any Colt was the No.1 Ring Lever Rifle. The carbine breech (attachable shoulder stocks for handguns) and Americas first slide action rifle were also part of Colts on-and-

off ventures into longarms. Then in 1963 the AR-15 and M16 .223 (5.56mm) automatic rifles made Colts the small-arms sensation of modern warfare. Their unmatched

accuracy, performance and durability are available in their direct descendents, the Colt semiautomatic-only, sporting rifles. Theyre ideal for hunting, plinking and competition

shooting.

Custom engraving can enhance the beauty of a historical revolver or the sleek lines of a new semi-

automatic pistol. Level A provides one quarter coverage, producing the effect

of delicate embellishment, while complete coverage at Level D creates a

uniquely decorative showpiece for any collector. Level B and C offer

engraving coverage that might highlight specifically chosen areas of the

firearm such as the cylinder of a revolver or the barrel of a pistol.

STYLES OF ENGRAVING

The Colt Custom Gun Shop offers several styles of engraving, each with its

own unique features. Scrollwork is adapted to fit the size, shape and contour of every firearm. Three grades of engraving are

offered: Standard-basic American style, engraver not recorded; Expert-master quality scroll work, engraver signed and recorded; andMaster-intricate scrollwork with precious metal inlays, signed by the engraver and recorded.

AMERICAN: Developed in the mid-19th century, this is the most popular engraving style for American firearms.

ENGLISH: English engraving is more delicate than the American style, with tighter scrolls and finer shading.

NIMSCHKE: Nimschke is named for the firearms engraver who helped create the American style. This design features rich scrollwork, a heavily punched dot background, fine edge curls and delicate borders.

THE COLT PRESENTATION GRADETM

The M1911 pistol has served the U.S. military with distinction in every war of the last century. To

celebrate the distinctive service, Colt has produced the Colt Presentation Grade pistol. Staying with

the traditional design, the Presentation Grade pistol is built on the original M1911 frame (O1918) and

finished with a lustrous royal blue finish. The pistol comes standard with smooth ivory grips and a Colt

Master Engraver engraves 25% of the pistol. No detail is spared down to the starburst-pattern grip

screws.

To display this finely crafted and engraved pistol is a custom fitted walnut presentation case. A

certificate will accompany this gun allowing the individual to mail it back to Colts redeemable for

engraving of any 3 letters or characters of their choice. Quality makes it a Colt,

the same as we have done for more than 170 years.

THE COLT MODERN MASTERSTM

The one firearm associated with the Colt name more than any other is the Colt Single Action Army

or, Peacemaker revolver. Colt has continued producing this classic design for collectors, cowboy

action shooters and sportsmen alike. It is now proud to present in a limited run the Colt

MODERN MASTERS single action army revolver. Two of Colts Master Engravers bring their

unique engraving styles to 50% of the surface of this original Colt masterpiece. These Master

Engravers, who have engraved weapons for presidents, lawmen and celebrities, now devote their

considerable talents to creating what is sure to become a cherished heirloom for any collector.

After engraving, the firearm is ink baked to bring

out and enhance the engraving details. The fine

craftsmanship of the revolver is augmented by the

inclusion of 1-piece ivory grips and qualified screws.

The MODERN MASTERS single action army

revolver is available with an optional nickel finish and

with a 4 , 5 or 7 inch barrel. The tradition of more than 170 years of

master craftsmanship, exemplified by the timeless Colt Peacemaker, continues today at Colt.

HOW IT ALL STARTEDMore than 170 years ago, an obscure young seaman, Calcutta bound, carved a model of what was destined to become the world's most famous revolver from a block of wood. His

name was Samuel Colt, and from the spark of his inventive genius came the modern firearms of today. One would have to search diligently through the pages of history to find a more

romantic and glamorous figure than Samuel Colt. His was the mind of a genius, a planner and a dreamer, all in one. His vision was not local, but worldwide. His ambition exceeded

mere prosperity and power. Complete satisfaction could only be his when he had reached the pinnacle of his chosen field. His own deeds and the life he

lived have immortalized him, and the products that still bear his name are a constant tribute to his ability and his

resourcefulness. Samuel Colt's effort to market his inventions is a record

of amazing courage, ingenuity, and perseverance. That one so young in

years and so handicapped by poverty and lack of prestige could prevail against

such odds is one of the marvels of individual American enterprise.
