The only reason I know anything at all about R. L. Wilson is that I use his book, "Colt's Dates of Manufacture: 1837-1978" to help identify older Colt handguns. My son watches a lot of Ian McCollum's videos on forgotten weapons and other topics; we both find him interesting and informative. I had often heard bout Wilson's "problems" but never knew the full story. Maybe people down in CT are more knowledgeable about this since it happened in their backyard.
Almost 30 minutes but it's a very intricate story.
