This is a one of a series of photo books on significant artifacts held by the U.S. Army Center of Military History. This volume covers the pair of pistols used by General George S. Patton Jr. during World War II - the M1873 Colt Peacemaker, and the S&W .357 Magnum. It includes a brief history of each revolver and a number of close up and detail color photographs of each. An added bonus is comparative shots of the two pistols with the two revolvers used during the filming of the movie "PATTON."
