/“Have Shot Their Way 
to Fame.” 
From the history-making epoch of 
the Old West to the Present Time, 
the COLT has proved its supe¬ 
riority over all other Revolvers. 
RELIABILITY made the Colt 
Revolver the chosen arm of the fight¬ 
ing-man—Scout, Cowboy, Soldier, 
Marshal. 
DURABILITY, tested for 70 years, 
gives the COLT the preference as the 
regulation arm of the U. S. Government. 
ACCURACY at long or short range 
is distinctive of every COLT: 
A COLT won the Government accuracy 
test at 50 yards in 1872; 
A COLT won the first recognized revolver 
match (1886); 
A COLT made a new World^s Record 
(1907)—the first and only per¬ 
fect score ever recorded at 20 
yards under official conditions. 
COLTS have set the pace for Re¬ 
volver Improvements. 
A Colt is “ Positively Locked until 
Positively Cocked ”—secure against ac¬ 
cidental discharge, but always ready for 
use. 
The original COLT GRIP is imitated 
but never equalled; in no other arm will 
be found the perfect balance and smooth, 
even pull of a Colt. 
Let us send YOU our new Catalog No. 12. It 
describes guaranteed Colts

poses — Protection, Sport,

Inter-Ocean Hunting Tales 
- ■ EDGAR F. RANDOLPH ■ 
A series of hunting reminiscences of rare charm for the sportsman and for the 
wider circle which delights in true tales of* outdoor life. With none of the high 
coloring and exaggeration which give a false note to so many hunting stories, Mr. 
Randolph’s book is never lacking in interest. 
He covers the field of sport with the rifle, east and west, drawing a vivid word 
picture of life in the open, subordinating his own exploits to the main incidents of 
outdoor experience, giving much valuable information on camp life, hunting and the 
habits of wild game, and continually delighting the reader with the freshness of his 
viewpoint 
This book will strike a sympathetic chord in the memory of every big-game 
hunter of experience and will prove of real value to the novice who is planning an 
excursion into the wild.
