Rick & Rick -

There are at least two versions of catalog #24, one is marked 'SECOND EDITION' at the bottom of the first page (which is not numbered). In my 'first' edition there is an un-numbered page with a testimonial glued in on page 13 that is blank on the back, there also is a loose sheet marked 16A & 16B that has the 'NEW LIGHTWEIGT TAKE-DOWN ON 16A an the 'NEW MODEL 1909' on 16B. These pages are included in the second edition but in a different order, also the color is different on the testimonial page.

Also shown is a #55 � this catalog is the only one I have seen that shows the optional thick spur cocking arm for the pistols.



The only differences I see in #50 from #40 (top) is that the Model 1909 is dropped, the �NEW� Model 1912 takes it�s place, the Model 1911 is not longer 'NEW", and the pages on the pistols are changed (also #40 apparently must have seemed much tastier to mice � haven�t yet done a taste-test myself).
