| Colt Ace .22 LR Advertisement from the
November, 1930 issue of the American Rifleman. The
purpose of the ad was to determine if there were enough
shooters with an interest in owning a .22 caliber pistol on
a Colt .45 caliber Government Model frame to warrant the
expense by Colt for the tools and other equipment required
to manufacture this new pistol. |
