Important in that on Colt's early efforts to revive his previously failed firearms
company, he sought also to manufacture longarms. These Paterson arms presented that
opportunity, and specimens were displayed at such events as the Great Exhibition of 1851,
in London. The production was an improved version of the Paterson Carbine made in New
Jersey, made with or without loading levers.
