  2. I'm dubious of marketing patter from someone I normally respect, so a poll: have you ever been interested in firearms history, and do you recognize the phrase "Elisha Collier's flintlock revolver"? This gun does not seem "forgotten" or "little known" to me, its in all the children's books on early firearms.
