130 ges. 5.5" x 8.5". W.L. Ormsby's Texas Rangers and Comanches Fight, Stagecoach Holdup, and Naval Engagement Scene Engravings On Samuel Colt's Revolvers. INSCRIBED TO A COLLECTOR AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. To the collector of Colt Percussion revolvers the three major Scenes engraved on their cylinders have always been items of keen interest. The presence and condition of the Rangers, Stagecoach and Naval Scenes on a Dragoon, Pocket '49 or '51 Navy are among the first factors considered when judging the quality of an antique Colt. Sam Colt and W.L. Ormsby would have had it no other way. They considered the Scenes central to the design and marketing of the revolvers and a sure way to defeat counterfeiters. This volume explores the history, process, period applications and use of authorized and unauthorized modern copies of the Colt Cylinder Scenes. Through copious illustrations and thorough research, fictions are revealed and facts explored regarding the creation and use of the work of one of the 19th Century's most famous banknote engravers, on the products of that era's most famous arms maker. For each of the three Scenes methods for detecting modern, fraudulent copies are thoroughly illustrated. W.L. Ormsby and His Process covers the biography, working methods and motivations of the man commissioned to create the Scenes. Pertinent facts about 19th Century commercial engraving and Ormsby's working life are discussed. Myths and misstatements about the roller die engraving process are revealed in a well illustrated explanation of exactly how the images on Colt's cylinders were made. Many images, photos, drawings, maps and original 19th Century illustrations illuminate Colt Cylinder Scenes, to clarify points made in the text for both the general reader and the most technically-minded gun collector. A number of items are brought together for the very first time to clearly define just what Sam Colt and W.L. Ormsby were up to in what was an exceedingly fruitful time for both of these men in the years 1847 to 1851. A truly outstanding reference. A Very Fine As New copy with no visible use.…
