After CBA stopped making
blackpowder models (to become
Henry Repeating Arms) there
were only a handful of remaining
Paterson Colts left, most of which
were purchased by America
Remembers. Twenty of those
guns were used for the last
Paterson commemorative issue
in 2011, an authentic two-barrel
cased set with the most accurate
accessories ever made. 2. The
two-barrel set included a first-ever
12-inch barrel and a 4-5/8-inch
barrel. The prototype built in 2011
was given an experimental aged
finish that proved too difficult to
duplicate on the handbuilt guns.
One of the most impressive
accessories for a cased black-
powder pistol ever made was the
original 1842 Paterson two-piece
powder-and-ball flask, shown
taken apart as it would have been
for loading with powder and balls.
