The Accomplished George S. Lewis Jr. Collection

Post Views: 0

George S. Lewis Jr. was collecting high condition Colts long before they were the collecting powerhouse they are today. Like most of us, he began collecting what he could afford, but with a keen eye and hard work, he pushed his collection to extraordinary heights.

Lewis began collecting Colt derringers and other small pocket pistols. Despite amassing what one collector called,”… one of the classic Colt collections of all time,” he never lost his affinity for the diminutive Colts.

Rock Island Auction Company’s initial offering of the Lewis Collection begins where Mr. Lewis did, with the small, high condition Colts that sparked a lifetime love of collecting.
