E. H. COLLIER, Nov. 24th 1818 patented flintlock-revolver, 5-shot, gas-sealed, hand-revolved. According to Sutherland's  book Sam Colt bought one in London, and he developed out of this model the single action system = by cocking the hammer the cylinder turns. Sotheby's auction catalog and a copy of a broad sheet signed by famous makers Samuel Nock, W. A. Beckwith and Thomas Mortimer.

The revolver I bought September 16, 1979, is part of my collection and not for sale.
