okay.
the colt "Root" pocket pistol came about around 1855. the only closed top BP pistol I'm aware of that Colt made.
enter the 1858 Remington pocket pistol which looks eerily similar to Colt's 1855 "Root" pistol.
so my question is......think they stole their tech/design?
I could see Colt seeing that specific model as a money $$$ loss and abandoning it. didn't want to spend money on barristers/litigation either.
any members have thoughts on this?
thanks
