19NP-34 PATTERSON
Fully machined and handmade copy of Colt Paterson No. 1 or “Baby” in .28 caliber with 4” barrel. Made by “Pete” Peterson of San Diego as a display model for his personal collection. Each one of “Pete’s” handmadepistols were finely machined with a high degree of hand finishing. Mr. Peterson diligently researched each project and studied originals in Little John’s and other collections over a 40 year project. Eachhandmade arm took 6 months to a year to complete with his time estimated at 1000 hours plus on the average. At $30 per hour or $30,000 each in time Pete’s handmade arms were not an economic enterprise but a laborof love. Pete would give a gun away but never sell one as “He could not take that big of a loss!” Unmarked and fully operational with correct style rifling. (Percussion) Est.: $600-$1200
