The Colt Paterson No. 5 Holster Model is among the earliest revolving firearms produced by Samuel Colt, manufactured at his Paterson, New Jersey factory between 1836 and 1842 under Colt's original revolving-cylinder patent. The largest of the Paterson models, the No. 5 became widely known as the Texas Paterson after the Republic of Texas armed its Rangers with the type, whose use of the revolver in mounted combat against Comanche warriors in the early 1840s helped establish the multi-shot revolver's value in frontier warfare. Commercial success came slowly for Colt's Paterson venture, which ultimately failed financially, but the design's field reputation laid the groundwork for Colt's later, more successful revolver contracts. Dated to 1838, this piece comes from the earliest years of American revolver manufacturing.
