The Accomplished George S. Lewis Jr. Collection

- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- George S. Lewis Jr. was collecting high condition Colts long before they were the collecting powerhouse they are today. Like most of us, he began collecting what he could afford, but with a keen eye and hard work, he pushed his collection to extraordinary heights.
Lewis began collecting Colt derringers and other small pocket pistols. Despite amassing what one collector called,"... one of the classic Colt collections of all time," he never lost his affinity for the diminutive Colts.
Rock Island Auction Company's initial offering of the Lewis Collection begins where Mr. Lewis did, with the small, high condition Colts that sparked a lifetime love of collecting.

Legendary 🔥🔥💎💎💎💎
I have a lot of money to spend on firearms from some of the pieces from rock island company !! Beautiful guns !!
Having been actively collecting Colts for over twenty years, one of my first acquisitions was a Third Model Thuer's Patent Derringer that I love and still retain in my collection along with my first Colt M1849 Pocket Revolver, assembled into a "gambler's" case custom built for me by Bill Shumate, who makes some of the finest reproduction cases (IMHO). Great stuff, Joel!
I think I’m in the wrong place , I don’t understand what you are saying !! Sorry , but I’m sure everyone else agrees with you ! Pls enlighten my slow brain !!
They're a great place to get started!
The one with the matching pipe case is unique.
Amazing video 👏👏

I don’t think that poor looking cylinder goes with this gun !!
