America Remembers is pleased
to announce the Elvis Presley® TCB™ Tribute Revolver, which
celebrates the life of the King of Rock & Roll®, one of America’s most
legendary icons. This exclusive Tribute is the fourth commemorative firearm
America Remembers has created to honor the legend of Elvis Presley, and we
are proud to offer it on one of the most powerful firearms ever used in
American law-enforcement: the Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver.
Craftsmen commissioned specifically for this project by America Remembers
decorate each working Smith & Wesson revolver in sparkling 24-karat gold and
nickel artwork, a perfect canvas to capture the likeness of this remarkable
musical legend. Prominently featured on each Elvis Presley Tribute is the special “TCB”®
logo Elvis shared with his closest friends and associates. With a lightning
bolt striking from the bottom, the logo translates to “Taking Care of
Business in a Flash,” an idea that encapsulates both the charisma and
character of this magnetic entertainer. Elvis
Presley was born poor in a two-room house in Tupelo, Mississippi, and
became an international superstar by his 21st birthday. He has sold over one
billion records, starred in over thirty films and established himself as a
true icon of American pop culture. He was a true legend who set the
world on fire with his originality.
From clothes and cars to mansions and music, everything Elvis touched was
transformed by his magnetic personality and signature style.
Elvis Presley retained a deep respect for the courage of
real-life lawmen. He appreciated their work and
everywhere he went he formed special bonds with federal, state and local
peacekeepers. He especially admired the firearms that they carried,
including the Smith & Wesson revolver.
 Elvis
Presley had a passion for collecting firearms, with an impressive assortment of
one-of-a-kind pieces. Few firearms in his prized collection
were without that special “Elvis touch.” Most were
personalized with special engravings, grips and the
trademark “TCB®” and lightning bolt logo.
Featured on the right side is a handsome portrait of
Elvis Presley in a cowboy hat, along with his special "TCB®" logo.
This detailed portrait captures the friendly, good-looking
man America came to love and admire. All artwork is featured in stunning 24-karat gold with
a stainless steel background.
To accentuate the artwork, highly-polished, finger-grooved
rosewood custom grips have been crafted for
each revolver. The hammer and trigger are
also polished and finished in 24-karat gold.

Featured on the left side, you’ll see a meticulously
detailed rendering of one of Elvis’s favorite automobiles. One of
Elvis’s true loves were his cars.
A New Equalizer – The Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum
During the 1930's, Smith &
Wesson created a special handgun to handle a lengthened, extra power
cartridge, which better helped peace officers enforce the law.
For more than two decades after its introduction, the
.357 Magnum held the most powerful handgun cartridge produced anywhere
in the world. In the 1980s,
Smith & Wesson developed their Model 686, known for its sporting functions
and role in law enforcement, and as a favorite for collectors. For
this special Tribute, we have selected the stainless steel Model 686, a
variation that appeals to lawmen and firearms aficionados.
