I'm not sure if you are asking about a gun or a horse. His horse was sold shortly before his death in 1979. His extensive gun collection was in the care of his oldest son Michael. With Michael's death I think the collection is now in the John Wayne Museum where everyone can enjoy it.

I looked this up and found out Wayne gave his Colt SAA to a man by the name of Gary Hess who worked for him as an engineer in his DECO gas/oil company. Gary came up with a new method to extract natural gas. When Wayne told him he didn't know how to repay him Hess asked for the gun and Wayne gave it to him. In 2003 it was sold by Battlefield's to Dr. Robert W. Azar of Parkersburg, WV who still has it. Until I looked this up I would have guessed it was in the Wayne Museum too, but actually the story attached to the gun is pretty interesting.

How did Marion Morrison get the name john Wayne?
It is standard practice for entertainers to take on names more in keeping with the persona they want to project to their fans. Thus, rap star Christopher Wallace adopted the more menacing stage name "The Notorious B.I.G."
Raoul Walsh wanted to give his young star a more "dashing" name, that of American general Anthony Wayne. Because "Anthony" didn't sound "American" enough, they changed it to "John."
