Some of these presentation arms were highly engraved specimens, often inlaid with gold and silver, but many--perhaps the majority--were plain arms with finely finished grips and metal parts. While many presentation arms were made, few survive today, and they are considered rare and desirable by the collector of firearms. The 3 specimens on this month's cover are outstanding examples of Colt presentation arms: (top) Model 1849 cal. .31 Pocket Model, serial #71746; (center) Model 1848 cal. .44 3rd Model Dragoon, serial #15821; and Model 1851 Navy Model cal. .36, serial #38843. The illustration, courtesy of Connecticut State Library Colt Museum, Hartford, Conn., is from a transparency by Harry C. Knode, Dallas, Tex. Camera was a 4x5 Linhof Tech-nika, using Ektachrome Type B film, exposed 1/2 second F/22, with 3200 K illumination. MAJOR ARTICLES. A Suggestion To Congress . . . An Editorial.
