VFW Korean War Tribute Pistol

WE MUST NEVER FORGET...
More than sixty years ago, Americans answered their
country's call to fight the spread of
communism at the 38th parallel in Korea.

The Korean War would last for three years and would claim the lives of more than 36,000 Americans,
with an additional 8,000 still missing today.

The right side of the slide features the dates 1950-1953 above the title "Korean War," flanked by a tank and artillery piece. The artwork on both sides is framed by elegant scrollwork in the tradition of the finest firearms. The POW-MIA insignia is also featured on both sides, honoring those unaccounted for after the war. The top of the slide features artwork symbolizing all branches of the Armed Forces, along with the VFW's logo and motto, "We'd Do Anything For This Country."

On the slide's left side, you will find a map of North and South Korea with the symbolic 38th parallel dividing the two, surrounded by the names of ridges where many of the battles took place. A banner with the legend "VFW Korean War Tribute" and the VFW logo are prominently featured. Fighter jets were first used in combat during the Korean War, and two jets are shown on the slide. Also depicted is a column of advancing American G.I.'s and a helicopter. All artwork is featured in a combination of 24-karat gold and nickel with a mirror-polished blued background.


An optional luxuriously lined custom display case is available for purchase for your VFW Korean war Tribute Pistol. The brass plaque can be personalized with your name or the name of a loved one.
