Roy Marcot's long-awaited book on one of America s most famous hunting and sporting rifles is now available. 
This new 330-page hardbound book is printed in full color. Individual chapters describe in detail the Remington No.1, No.1 1/2, No.2, No.4, No.5 and No.7 rolling block firearms. 
The No.1 expanded section includes full chapters on the development of the rolling block system, early sporting rifles, engraved and embellished rifles, Creedmoor Long Range rifles, Mid-Range and Short Range rifles, Schuetzen rifles, Bench Rest rifles, and Buffalo rifles. 
Every model is described in great detail, with over 250 comprehensive color photographs of all important aspects of each rifle. Besides the quality of the text and photography, what sets this book apart is the 12 x 10 inch layout of text and photographs in a series of flowing matrixes designed by well-known graphic artist, Ron Paxton. Norm Flayderman, the noted antique arms authority in writing the Foreword to this book, said, the quality of the photography in this . . . book sets a new standard that all future arms books will be held to. 
Research on this epic study of one of America s most famous hunting and sporting rifle began twenty-three years ago. Countless trips were made by the author to museums and private gun collections throughout the United States and Great Britain. Mr. Marcot also spent hundreds of hours over the past eighteen years combing through the Remington company archives drawing material from original surviving production, sales and shipping records. 
A leather-bound, slip-cased deluxe edition is also available. Contact the publisher for details.

Colt Brevete Revolvers by Roy Marcot from Northwood Heritage Press and North Cape Publications, Inc Until now, most collectors have considered Brevete revolvers to be illegal copies of Colt Model 1849 and 1851 Revolvers. In fact, as author Roy Marcot demonstrates, the greater majority were licensed by the Colt Factory. 
In the 1850s, Samuel Colt worked assiduously to patent his revolver concept and prevent infringements around the world. It was a losing effort and unauthorized copies of his pistols were showing up from Europe to Japan. In an example of lateral thinking, Sam Colt decided to take advantage of the situation. He informed Belgian and gun makers in other countries that he would withdraw his lawsuits if they would accept a licensing arrangement whereby he would provide parts for assembly or allow them to manufacture some or all parts in return for a royalty for each gun that passed through their country s proof house. Otherwise, he would continue his lawsuits and they would see their revolvers confiscated. 
The program worked very well. The number of spurious copies fell and the Colt factory revenue rose. 
Colt Brevete Revolvers is certain to open a whole new Colt collecting field. 
Colt Brevete Revolvers is a 372 page, hardcover book (12 x 10 in format) with hundreds of full-color photographs illustrating every aspect of the subject revolvers --- especially their markings.
