At one point Larry Wilson claimed to own the original Colt, but I believe it came back to the state. More than I can say for some of the fine Colts that he 'borrowed' from the state library.

I remember reading somewhere that the "Rampant Colt" was brought back and restored and is now back in its original location atop the factory building. Am I wrong in this? Don't know....

I will report back on its location.
I just wish it was in my gun room.
