Description
English:

Smiling park ranger in a National Park Service uniform is pointing at a tall central pink-granite pedestal surmounted by a bronze statue of the standing Samuel Colt in a triumphant posture, facing west; two side panels with large low-relief bronzes; and a second bronze figure depicting Colt as a seated young mariner carving a revolver out of wood. The figures are somewhat larger than life-sized. The pedestal is inscribed with Colt’s name and dates and several lines of dedication. The base of the statue is carved with laurel-leaf and cornucopia motifs, and carvings on the ends of the side sections depict flaming torches.
