Colt Double Eagle Custom Sliver
In 1897, John Moses BROWNING (1855- 1926) presented to the Colt Company USA and to the National Manufacturers of War Arms in Belgium, a prototype of the first gun to work using the short recoil of the barrel, — the COLT AUTOMATIC 38 MODEL 1900.
Working together with the two manufacturers, J. M. BROWNING by March 1911 had evolved a new modal, the COLT 1911 SPECIAL ARMY firing 6,000 shots in succession during trials. The achievement of such unprecedented standards, led quickly to enormous success resulting in production starting in December 1911 for the American Army and in March 1912 for the civil market.
