This book chronicles the making of an 1851 Navy-Colt revolver in 1/8th-scale. Only 6 of these tiny pistols were ever made. One was presented to James Cameron during the making of the blockbuster film, "Titanic", and two others made (thanks, Michael) for a collector, and won the coveted, NRA "Best Arms" recommendation in 1995. Both the single-pistol presented to James Cameron, and the brace, were cased in walnut, and fully accessorized with authentic, Colt, bullet-molds and other accutrements. The remaining 3 pistols are still in the possession of the author. This book contains a forward by Ralph B. White, who claims 39 dives on the ship, "Titanic", and who became a friend of the author during the making of "Titanic", on which film the author also worked.
