The Equalizer Drawing

In 1856, Colt arrived in St. Petersburg to negotiate the acquisition of weapons produced at his factories by Russia, attended the coronation of Emperor Alexander II, and met with Grand Duke Constantine. He signed a contract with the Russian government for the supply of guns to the Russian army. One of the Russian officers arrived in New York with Colt under the guise of his valet and prepared to send 50 thousand rifles to Russia, disguised in bales of cotton. The contract signed with Colt was soon canceled, which led to his filing a lawsuit against Russia and transferring the case to arbitration (1857). The matter ended with the fact that, as a result of negotiations, a new contract, more beneficial for Colt, was signed, which provided for the start of production of Colt revolvers in Russia using American equipment, machine tools and drawings. Satisfied with the new contract, Colt presented Alexander II with a custom-made set of rifles and pistols. In the 1870s, the Russian military preferred the Smith-Wesson revolvers to the Colt revolvers the work is done with a simple pencil and framed under glass. Sending to any country in the world.
