Jim, I am not absolutely positive but as I recollect Colt no longer has an interest or control of this historical archive. I believe it is in the hands of the Winchester museum in Cody WY. Could very well be in control of the CT historical foundation. I don't know but I am fairly certain Colt Firearms has nothing to do with it any longer.
Colt has never been very savvy in business dealings since the end of WW2. Look how they gave up the Cowby action shooting market to the Italians. Biggest bonehead mistake I've seen lately in the gun World.
Colt has been trying to go out of business for years now....Jerry Burney
