John A. Kopec
OUR BOOK DEPARTMENT REMAINS OPEN
Now your exclusive resource for new Kopec books.
Mr. John A. Kopec, co-author of these two Colt books has been informally associated with the Colt Firearms Company since the early 1970's when he was actively researching Colt's historical records along with his Co-Authors Mr. Ron Graham and the late C. Kenneth Moore. This led to the publication in 1976 of "A STUDY". This book is now in its fifth printing. Later Mr. Kopec became Colt's first exclusive factory distributor of Colt Single Action parts. This business was later sold, and became Peacemaker Specialists.
In 1994 the second book, "COLT CAVALRY & ARTILLERY REVOLVERS" was published, co-authored with renowned Custer historian the late Dr. H. Sterling Fenn. Today John is still engaged in the authentication of the U.S. military Colt Single Action revolvers exclusively for Rock Island Auctions, Bedford Texas. His expertise in this field is today accepted as authoritative within the Colt collecting fraternity.
