Shortly after the United States Constitution was ratified, our Founding
Fathers added a very powerful postscript to the document – The Second
Amendment. “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a
free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be
infringed.” Never before in our country’s remarkable history has “America’s
First Freedom” been challenged as it has in recent years. “The right of the
people to keep and bear arms,” as outlined by our Founding Fathers, has come
under constant attack from those who choose to challenge the validity of the
United States Constitution’s Second Amendment.For
over 135 years, The National Rifle Association has served as America’s first
line of defense in preserving the heritage our Founding Fathers left us.
America Remembers is proud to honor the NRA’s tireless and patriotic
commitment as “Defenders of Freedom” with the National Rifle Association
Second Amendment® Tribute Revolver. For this Tribute, we selected a Smith &
Wesson stainless steel Model 629 revolver in caliber .44 magnum, a very
popular short-barrel revolver. For this Tribute craftsmen commissioned
specifically for this project by America Remembers have created a
museum-quality masterpiece certain to be a treasured family possession for
generations. The revolver is decorated in lustrous 24-karat gold and nickel
with artwork highlighted in a rich, blackened patina for maximum detail and
contrast. The Tribute’s decorations handsomely and elegantly capture and
honor the legacy and mission of the NRA.
The National Rifle Association was established in 1871 by
a group of National Guard officers to “Promote and encourage rifle shooting
on a scientific basis.” Today’s NRA is comprised of nearly four million avid
members who share a common bond – an appreciation of firearms, a commitment
to safety and responsibility, and a belief in our constitutional right to
keep and bear arms. Today the NRA is recognized as a major force in the
ongoing fight to defend American’s right “… to keep and bear Arms,” as
guaranteed by the Second Amendment.

Left side features the instantly recognizable seal of the
NRA. The seal depicts the majestic bald eagle with its wings and talons
extended atop a pair of crossed rifles and a shield adorned with the Stars
and Stripes.
Right side features the striking image of the American bald
eagle in front of Old Glory. This iconic pairing is encircled by a frame
that reads, “Defenders of Freedom.” Skilled artisans have added nickel
highlights, making the bold white feathers of the eagle’s head stand out
from the lustrous 24-karat gold.
