My problem with it is it wasn't a production gun that was available to anybody. Maybe you could have had one if you were a close friend of Sam Colt or uber rich. Just because they made a prototype doesn't cut it with me.
LMBPAO! But the point is it was produced by Colt...it's in a Museum in Conneticut. So it wasn't available to the public. But Pietta apparently knows about it so they reproduced it and Pietta made it available to the public. Pietta brought forth a link if you will in the Colt chain of events. I feel even better now about the 1851 Navy .44 Pietta & I did say Pietta...I think I'll go buy one.
