So Roland White(was that his name?) had the patent for the center fire cartridge, good until 1869...I think.
S&W bought him out.
Forgive me if my details are incorrect, but why, in 1868, would S&W allow Remington to produce 4000+ Army conversion pistols using the center fire cartridge.
Why would S&W "help" a competitor?
I found it rather curious.
I read this in a book I bought last year..."Guns" by David Weber.
It's a beautiful hardcover book with over 2000 guns of every type firearm imaginable, right up to machine guns.
Anyone familiar with this book?
I read a page or 2 most mornings over breakfast.
