Honoring Plains Indians

America
Remembers is proud to sponsor projects honoring American heroes, as well
as legendary historical moments and individuals. We cannot change history,
but we can do our part to honor those whose contributions have been
overlooked or distorted. Today, America's special recognition
is being paid to the storied heritage of Native Americans. The lives of the
American Indians are a special part of our heritage, and I am pleased that
we can recognize the Plains Indians with this tribute.
The lives of the Plains Indians revolved around the
massive herds of buffalo that were a main source of food, clothing and
shelter. Whole tribes moved to follow the herds, and tales of bravery in
the hunt became a central element in their lives and the selection of
their leaders.
On both sides of the pistol frame, we recognize the
buffalo. On the left side, highlighted in 24-karat gold, you will see a
hunting party on horseback among a herd of buffalo. In the foreground two
braves draw closer to one of the buffalo, and aim the killing-shot.

The right side of the pistol frame features two majestic buffalo on the
Western Plains. The buffalo are highlighted in 24-karat gold, and the
background is nickel. The Indians felt a kinship to this powerful and
noble beast, honoring it spiritually and in traditional dance. But to
settlers it was the object of sport at best, a mere nuisance at worst.
Sadly, buffalo were slaughtered by the thousands, dwindling their numbers
from around 20 million to near extinction.
On the recoil shield, you will see a majestic
Indian chief. The chief is wearing a traditional buffalo skull cap with
horns. The backstrap is also decorated in nickel and 24-karat gold. A
diamond war shield is shown with symbolic eagle feathers, beads and tepee.
The blued steel barrel is highlighted with
24-karat gold lettering. On the left side is the inscription "The American
Indian" and on the right, the revolvers edition number, from 1 to 300, is
featured in gold. The cylinder and frame are profusely etched and
decorated in 24-karat gold with decorative scroll and symbols of the
Plains Indians.
Each pistol features hand-fitted genuine
stag grips. The pistol will arrive in an elegant, luxuriously lined
display
case. The lid of the case allows for easy viewing, and also serves
to protect the pistol from dust.
