EXTREMELY RARE LIMITED EDITION RAMPANT COLT BRONZE STATUE COMPLETE WITH LEATHER BOUND BOOK, THE RAMPANT COLT, BY R.L. WILSON

EXTREMELY RARE LIMITED EDITION RAMPANT COLT BRONZE STATUE COMPLETE WITH LEATHER BOUND BOOK, THE RAMPANT COLT, BY R.L. WILSON. SN 30 of 100. Statue is cast bronze of the very famous Colt trademark of a rearing stallion produced by the late Tommy Haas in 1968. Mr. Haas, the ultimate craftsman and reproduction artist faithfully copied the orig lead casting formally in the Colt archives and, at that time owned by famous Colt researcher, author & publisher R.L. Wilson. These new castings faithfully followed the orig and exactly 100 castings were made from the orig mold under the supervision of Mr. Haas. Statue measures 21″ high including a 1-1/2″ thick base by about 21″ long. Mounted on a cast bronze oval base that is also 21″ long by about 11″ wide. The base is somewhat domed with cast foliate and rock patterns with a pair of crossed Paterson revolvers towards the front center above the attached 3-5/8″ by 1-1/2″ brass plaque which is engraved “The / Rampant Colt / 30 of one hundred”. The horse as noted, is rearing in the posture representing a war horse holding a spear in it’s mouth and another between it’s front legs as though breaking it. There were only of 100 these bronzes cast in 1968 from the original Cold lead mold pattern of the Rampant Colt that was in the colt factory originally in 1855. The bronze is cast with an embellished base that exhibits two crossed Colt Texas Paterson revolvers. It has a brass escutcheon: The Rampant Colt/ #30 of One Hundred. It is being sold complete with the leather bound book by R.L. Wilson, “The Rampant Colt” which is also #30 matching the number on the bronze. The book comes in its original slip case. The book relates the history of the Rampant Colt and how it is synonymous with the excellence of The Colt Company and its weapons. This bronze is in excellent condition and is complete with two arrows as originally produced. The size is 21 inches high and 10 inches deep and 21 inches wide. Weight about 35 lbs. A wonderful highlight to any colt collection. PROVENANCE: Michael Leff Estate Collection. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Retains virtually all of its orig antique bronze finish. Book is equally new with slight wear on the spine of the slip cover. 4-49717 JR421 (6,000-10,000)
