Samuel Colt was an important arms maker in the 19th century. The Colt .45 pistol is the one most associated with Colt Manufacturing. I know very little about firearms, so I will refer readers to Wikipedia, since, as you know, everything on the internet is true.
This is part of a statue in the Hartford park honoring him. The youth represents Colt when he was a young sailor. Above him is the main statue of Colt as a powerful industrialist. I don't like that part of the statue, so I didn't photograph it.

Both statue and patina are wonderful!
"... since, as you know, everything on the internet is true" - very funny! :-)
Your colt is looking a bit worn. I think he needs a polish. :)
I think if he had known that you use wrong with guns would have invented something else !!!!!!!!!!!!!
