Tribute to The Duke
Browsing through the Guns and Hunting website, I found this nice pistol in tribute to the great John Wayne.
Wayne Enterprises, in conjunction with America Remembers, has released a limited-edition John Wayne Tribute .45 Pistol. The working, semi-automatic handgun has a polished slide decorated with artwork in 24-karat gold and nickel, along with grip screws, slide stop hammer and magazine catch that are also polished and finished in gold.
Centered on the left side of the slide is a portrait of John Wayne in the role of a Marine officer. To the left of the image is the quote “Courage is Being Scared to Death…But Saddling Up Anyway” scrolled beside a bald eagle. On the right side of the portrait is the quote, “A Man’s Got to Do…What a Man’s Got to Do” and the Marine Corps eagle, globe and anchor logo. The right side of the slide has an image of John Wayne in the role of a Navy officer. Left of the portrait it reads, “Talk Low…Talk Slow and Don’t Talk too Much!” beside the images of the Liberty Bell and Navy anchor symbol. On the right side it reads, “The American Flag…The Best Flag God Gave to Any Country” in front of Old Glory. At the muzzle end is John Wayne’s signature.
Production of this handgun is limited to 3,500 pieces. Contact America Remembers, 10226 Timber Ridge Drive, Ashland, VA 23005; (800) 682-2291; www.americaremembers.com.
