And, the old blackpowder guns were becoming members of some TV Westerns. There were those who wanted to shoot them for fun and there were those who wanted their Colts for a new hobby of recreating Civil War battles. There were the collectors who had become interested in reading about them in books. In the early 1950вЂ™s there was a new generation of men who had just survived two wars and now had a little time to become interested in the old Colts. His book вЂњColt Firearms 1836-1960вЂќis directly responsible for my interest in Colt revolvers. Serven was conducting research and publishing papers on his findings. Parsons published вЂњThe Peacemaker and its RivalsвЂќ which also addressed the growing interest in Colt firearms. Edwards wrote вЂњThe Story of ColtвЂ™s RevolverвЂќin 1950. One of the early вЂњmodernвЂќ researched publications on the history of Colt and his revolvers was вЂњThe History of the Colt RevolverвЂќ by Charles T. In 1937 Colt published вЂњA Century of Achievement 1836-1936вЂќ which contains a brief history of the Colt Company and its firearms. Many of the early writings about them were inaccurate and incomplete leading to confusion among collectors. In the beginning they were just tools to be used and admired for their efficiency, beauty and grace. Colt collectors have marveled at the sight of the early Colt blackpowder revolvers for decades.
