Dr. Martin Rywell's (1905-1972) studious research into the history of American firearms, and those who wielded them, led to the publication of numerous titles exploring the subject. Colt Guns includes a biographical sketch of Samuel Colt, some of Colt's own discussions, and essays by other authors contemporaneous with Colt. The Colt collector and American weaponry historian will appreciate this look into the development of an important firearms manufacturer.

Colt Guns was published in 1953.
