One of a very limited run by Colt master engraver Leonard Francolini, only a few of these very well-executed diminutive statues are known. This example features the classic rampant Colt trademark done in silver with intact spears standing on a globe. Globe rests on a sculpted silver and brass base. Statuette is mounted to a wood base with relief "COLT" plaque and removable glass dome. Statue measures approximately 4 - 1/2" tall. With base and vitrine it measures approximately 5". CONDITION: Excellent overall. Colt starting to develop a patina but still largely bright. The globe and stem have turned a rich orange hue. Globe base and plaque appear to be intentionally highlighted with verdigris. Vitrine is intact and free of chips. A fantastic masterwork, the perfect desk ornament for any discerning Colt collector.
Item Dimensions: 4 x 4 x 6"
