New book : "inside the suicide special revolver"


 This book was my own new year surprise, and I am pleased with all the great information the Author has covered!

"Inside the Suicide Special Revolver" is now available @ amazon.ca!


In 1958, Donald B. Webster, JR. wrote and Stackpole Published "Suicide Specials", which was the last book dedicated to this category of Antique revolvers...



I have owned a copy for several years, read  and re-read the 1958 book : Suicide Specials.

Colt's New Line of Breech Loadere.

 


My .32 caliber Rim-fire,  Colt New-Line revolver is the one at the top right in the above  advertisement. Today it's valued between $1000-$1200 Canadian funds, and maybe more, since the authoritarian Federal Gov has banned handguns, so far it doesn't include "antiques", but it does include any of the center-fire chambered Colt New-Line revolvers!
If I can afford it, I would like to also own the  .38 rimfire and 41 rimfire Colt New-Line revolvers 
For now, I will continue to keep my Colt New 32 in as nice condition as possible...
