great book...perfect condition

I highly recommend this book as the definitive source on the Colt 1905 and 1905/07. Although the type itself saw limited production, its developement history and impact is a necessary adjunct to understanding and appreciating the Colt 1911 Automatic for which it was the precusor and also the bridge from the 1900/1902 .38 models which started it all. With only a little over 6,000 produced, the elegant 1905's are hard to find, but after reading this book you are going to start looking for one. I had already found mine, and before the book I was totally ignorant of the details concerning this type...with this book I now know not only the Id of the man who inspected it but also the man who assembled it. And that is just the beginning...even within this low production there are variations that we collectors just love to study. Many thanks to Mr. Potocki for this excellent work and deepening my appreciation for thisearly automatic pistol.

The technical aspects, historic research, and inclusion of Thompson-Lagarde make this a great work.

A must for Colt auto collectors.
