Fully machined and handmade copy of Colt Paterson No. 1 or Baby with 4 ½” barrel in .28 caliber showing re-enforcement around wedge area. Made by “Pete” Peterson of San Diego as a display model for his personalcollection. Each one of “Pete’s” handmade pistols were finely machined with a high degree of hand finishing. Mr. Peterson diligently researched each project and studied originals in Little John’s and othercollections over a 40 year project. Each handmade 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 armswere not an economic enterprise but a labor of 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
