Good book regarding early DA revolvers?

[tarantulakeeper]

I'm interested in learning more about DA Colt revolvers, in particular, Police positives, Official Police, New Service, etc., especially 1900-1940. I found A History of Colt Revolvers, by Haven/Belden 1978 on ebay for $30 plus shipping. Would this be a good one to start with? I did read through the thread regarding gun library suggestions and most seem geared towards 1911s or SAA. Or if someone knows of a better source about DAs I'd appreciate it. Thanks, John

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll start with the History of Colt Revolvers I saw on ebay and go from there. John

Didn't one of our members write a book on the early DAs? ColtDAguy? I can't remember for sure...I really should know this
