There is a nice little article on the .41 rimfire in the latest Target Sports magazine (Feb 2009). Another good description can also be found in the 1990 Gun Digest annual.
Samuel Colt at one point had his manufacturing plant located in the UK. I would imagine Colts - all types - were always very popular items there.
I have also heard that the Colt company will send you some information about any Colt pistol for which you can provide them a serial number. (Probably just stuff like date and place of manufacture, and to whom factory-shipped. Your chances of finding any info about a given pistol after that point - unless it were owned by Wild Bill Hickock, or some such famous person - would proabably be about nil).
I have also heard that they charge a fee for doing so.
