There are a lot of collectors out there who could easily afford such a gun. It could be any of them or it could be a museum. Museums can't possibly depend on 'donations' alone and most of the larger ones like the National Firearms Museum (home of the three Parker Invincibles) and the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody WY. receive handsome endowments in order that they be able to acquire such artifacts.

The National Firearms Museum missed a bet if they didn't buy the TR gun to go in with other TR artifacts.
