It's a beautiful sculpture!I love this composition, the sculpture, the angle and blue sky on the background!

Nice composition.
This looks like the type of monument usually constructed for a political leader, not a businessman.
I like the young Samuel Colt so much better Jack :)
This statue tells a story of success.
I prefer the young Colt, too, but both are great statues -- I just find the youthful innocence more appealing, particularly these days!! Hope your week is going well, Jack!
You did a good job composing this even though there are some who might question his contribution to society! :)
Was that the gun they called the "Peacemaker?"
I'm glad to see this statue, Jack!
Samuel Colt made history.
I like the young sailor, Jack!
I like how it shows Colt at two very different stages in his life. It makes him seem more real...at least in my mind.
So that's the guy... He really changed history, in his own way! (I have to confess that I still own a replica of a Colt .45 revolver)
Quite an interesting contrast in these figures.
Interesting photo of Colt's statues. Colt made more of their .45 automatic than of their revolver, right?
The pose of the young Colt reminds me of the classical statue of the boy with a thorn in his foot. Just the pose I guess.
Nice to meet you Samuel Colt !
quite a change!
very original! when was it made? after his death? before?
QUite a pair of sculptures!
