It was not found in Col.

Had to ask as one was found in Denver 2 yrs ago by a guy wanting to buy Jap dirt bikes. The old man that had them told the guy he had another one behind the house. Turned out to be an op 47 skyway blue original owner. Told the guy he had to take all or none. Word has it that he bought the 47 for 700.00. The old man told him he had to make a profit.
The old man bought it new when he came home from WWII.
