"Abe Lincoln may have freed all men, but Sam Colt made them equal". This post-Civil War slogan refers to the inventor of the revolving fire arms, Sam Colt, who patented his invention in 1836. Ever since, about 30 million Colt weapons have been produced giving the inventor both fame and a fortune. Read more about the history !

vignette: 5 by 5 cm. engraving
of the allegorical figure Virtus (Virtue) in harness, holding a
sword and a spear in her hands and treading down the allegorical
Tyranny, his crown fallen from his head; a broken chain and sword lying
next to him. Text: "SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS" (Engl.: Thus Always to
Tyrants; NL.: Zo gaat het
tirannen altijd), according to Bob Kerstein (www.Bob.com) the motto of
the
state of Virginia, wheras this allegorical figure of Virtue is
representing the spirit of the British Commonwealth, illustrting
struggle that has ended in complete victory. Hall, (1993, p. 78)
mentions that in Gothic sculpture a particular Virtue (there were quite
a number) often treads down the vice belonging to it. I invite those
who know more, to send me further comments on the correct
interpretation of this engraving. And, is there any reason why the
company would choose this vignette for it's stock ?
