Default colorful cover catalogs

I did have this question in another post and have posted again for 2 reasons.
Firstly there are not enough posts being placed in the “Knives & Collectables” section, one of my favourite sections. Secondly with the rules of posting a different question from original subject I thought it might have been the reason no one answered. Pretty poor excuse I know but I’m sticking to it.

Ignoring the magazine catalogs since 1971, are these are the only colorful cover catalogs?
1913 - Pirates
1915 - Mountain lion (3/4 front page)
1917 - Mountain lion (full front page)
1920 - Last cartridge (bear)

The cover of the 2000 catalog is the only place I have seen the 1915 & 1920, thus the reason it’s in the picture.
If it was not for the 2000 catalog I would have not known they existed, so I thought there may be others.
Cheers.

Thanks I have seen these.
For some reason the 1939 is one of my favourite covers, plain & simple but I like it.
Thanks again.

This is the other spanish catalog I have CATALOGO "S" along with the flyer and two price lists that went with the D-1 catalog. I'll post more as I scan them.

You must have a great collection and thanks for continuing to show them off.
I can tell you that the first catalog in each of the last 2 posts cannot be found if searching the internet, I know as I have spent hours trying to find a picture of these 2.
Thanks again much appreciated.

Don has one of the most complete collections of S&W paper that I know of. perhaps exceeding Roy Jinks. Clem Muller's collection might exceed Don's, but it would be very close. Don generously supplied the info. in the SCSW, 3rd edit. and I have wondered why it doesn't show the "color" catalogs cited above by Don. The answer may be include in a comment Jim Supica made to me after the 3rd edit. came out. He said they supplied the publisher with more pages of info than were published, and when we asked why it was not included, we were told that the printer's equipment could only print so many pages and no more, so material was left out. Perhaps the color catalog info. are on the cutting room floor. Maybe a link on this Forum could be set up for S&W paper, etc. and members could post their material. ( The most interesting item I know of is a letter D.B.Wesson wrote to his tailor complaining that the shorts he made were too tight! ) Ed.

The catalog of 1880 is described as the first S&W catalog with a color lithographed cover.
Can anyone post a picture or describe what it looked like?
