     "Between the years 1953 and 1983 there was a rash of single-action revolvers introduced due to the renewed interest in the American west as portrayed in an endless number of television western series. Most of these handguns were made in Italy, Germany, or South America, all trying to attain the design and romance of the original Model P Colt Single-Action Army "cowboy gun." None achieved that goal, and the efforts of most of them were short lived. There is an interest in these old pieces today, however, and some firearms collectors are always seeking more information about these early come-and-go models.
     "Chuck Lewis provides a superficial introduction to all known models produced in the years discussed here. Although brief and informal, the notes and 62 photographs in this collection provide gun enthusiasts a single source from which to start exploring the past market of single-action revolvers, but -- these ain't Colts!
     
    "Makes and models included here are:
     
    "Abilene; Allen; Atlas; Bison; Casull; Cattleman; Century; Dakota; Deputy; El Dorado; E.M.F.; F.I.E.; 4-Ace; Great Western; Hawes; Herter; Hy Hunter; Iver Johnson; Kassnar/Jager; Kleinguenther/Reck; Liberty; Mitchell; Navy Arms; Pawnee Scout; R.G.; Ruger; Seville; Stallion; Tanarmi; Texas Longhorn; and Virginian."

BOOK REVIEWS

WHAT THE READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT
THESE AIN'T COLTS!  (Released 2003)

A copy of this See-Dee was purchased by an agent with BATF (U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms), in Washington, DC, to help identify some old model single-action revolvers they often receive from police departments around the country who simply call them all "cowboy guns." Personal communication with this agent was very interesting, but his comments and name will not be shown here for discretionary reasons. -- C.L.
