This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/18/2020
Belgian and French patent application, approval, and drawings, legal letters, letters between Colt and Browning, certificates of tax payment, and even the eventual surrender of the patents when Colt decided that the gun had become unworth keeping the patent for. There is also one of the patent drawings included. Housed in an old accordion style file folder with "Browning-Colt Patents / Foreign / Belgium Thru Great Britain" and "10-11 Oct 1981 / Fall Gun Show / Retain" and two other lines that are illegible. CONDITION: Very good, with some folds, foxing, and age related staining appropriate for 100 year old documents. File folder has some tape repairs, a few separations along folding lines, and a broken binding cord. A really neat self contained archive! EW
