The enemies of justice never see his face. They only hear the crack of his
whip, the thunder of his revolver and the whistle of his blade as it slices
the air.
Few characters have captured the world’s imagination as
long as the legendary masked swordsman known as Zorro. The thrilling saga of
timid nobleman Diego de la Vega-- who leads a double life defending the
oppressed against injustice—was created by writer Johnston McCulley in a
pulp story. Since his first appearance, Zorro has grown into a worldwide
phenomenon, becoming the subject of hundreds of stories, books, films,
television shows, cartoons and comic books. And his adventures are far from
over.
Now America Remembers is excited to announce a thrilling,
one-of-a-kind masterpiece honoring the legendary masked hero: The Zorro
Tribute Revolver. With full authorization from Zorro Productions, Inc., our
artisans have truly gone the extra mile to create a sidearm that ZORRO would
be proud to carry on his famous steed, Tornado, alongside his bullwhip and
famous rapier.
For this Tribute, the legendary Single Action Revolver in
caliber .45 LC was selected as the perfect firearm to capture this legendary
hero in American culture. Revolvers for this Tribute are produced by the
craftsmen of A. Uberti, who are regarded as the world’s premier maker of
historic firearms recreations. Craftsmen commissioned specifically for this
project by America Remembers decorate each revolver in sparkling 24-karat
gold and nickel over a blued steel canvas, resulting in a remarkable firearm
that captures all of the mystery, adventure and romance of the Zorro legend.
A Celebration of Two Legends
Though Zorro is best known for his expertise with a sword and bullwhip, his
faithful sidearm was close at hand. In many of his adventures, whenever the
situation called for firepower, Zorro proved himself an expert marksman. In
choosing the firearm for the Zorro Tribute, we searched through his
swashbuckling adventures in feature films, cliffhanger serials and
television series. From the research, we selected the legendary Single
Action revolver, the classic firearm of the Wild West and a firearm used in
the later Zorro adventures. It seemed only fitting to combine two legends
into one unforgettable Tribute.
“The Peacemaker” has truly become an iconic firearm and
deserving of the title “The Gun That Won the West” or “The Equalizer.” Now,
long after the West was won, the Peacemaker has proved to be a firearm that
survived and thrived beyond its moment in history. And because it remains
one of the most popular firearms for collectors, we felt it provided the
perfect canvas for this exclusive Zorro™ Tribute Revolver.
Only 300 Available
Only 300 Tributes will be available in this strictly limited edition
available exclusively through America Remembers. Now is your opportunity to
own an expertly-crafted, one-of-a-kind firearm that truly captures the
spirit of adventure and romance that has defined the Zorro legend throughout
the decades.
The allure of Zorro has thrived for almost a hundred years
and shows no signs of slowing down. Whether you are a fan of the classic
serials, the beloved television series or the current films, or whether you
are just a fan of legendary Western firearms, the Zorro Tribute Revolver
will make a handsome addition to any collection and will continue the legend
for many generations to come.
Both sides of barrel feature the official Zorro™ logo,
emblazoned in 24-karat gold and surrounded by decorative scrollwork in the
tradition of the finest presentation firearms.
The ‘Zorro’ name is also featured in bold black letters
laser-engraved onto the faux ivory grips. Completing the overall design, the
trigger, hammer and hardware are all decorated in brilliant 24-karat gold.
Left side of the recoil shield features the masked hero in
iconic fashion, clad in all black with his trusted blade at the ready. The
portrait is framed in an ornate oval, with flowing scrolls at the top and
bottom.
