Authorized by the National Rifle Association
The NRA was founded in 1871 by a group of National Guard officers who had served in the Civil War and were concerned about marksmanship and national defense. Today the NRA is comprised of nearly four million members who share a common bond – an appreciation of firearms, a commitment to safety and responsibility, and a belief in the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Never before in our country’s remarkable history has “America’s First Freedom” been challenged as it has in recent years. Ever vigilant in the preservation of “America’s First Freedom,” the NRA and its members have become a potent political voice, expressing their concerns and taking the lead in the battle to uphold the validity of the United States Constitution’s Second Amendment.
Today America Remembers proudly salutes the heritage of the National Rifle Association and the Association’s on-going role as America’s first line of defense in preserving the rights our Founding Fathers established for us. For this historic Tribute, America Remembers selected the legendary Henry Rifle, a classic lever-action rifle which revolutionized firearms history.
Each Tribute is a detailed recreation of the Henry rifle in caliber .44-40, and produced by the incomparable artisans of A. Uberti, whose master craftsmen have painstakingly reproduced the greatest firearms of history for more than four decades. Each rifle is decorated with artwork in 24-karat gold and nickel by craftsmen specifically commissioned by America Remembers for this Tribute. The artwork features portraits of four prominent early leaders of the NRA, along with recognizable symbols and logos of the NRA.
The Tribute is issued with the authorization of the National Rifle Association in a strictly limited edition of only 300 Tribute Rifles. America Remembers will arrange delivery of your working Tribute through a licensed firearms dealer of your choice. If for any reason you are less than fully satisfied with your Tribute, you may return it in original unfired condition within 30 days for a full and courteous refund.
Right side of the receiver displays a shooting scene from Creedmoor, home to the NRA’s first shooting range. Portraits of four prominent early leaders of the NRA are featured, including NRA cofounders, Colonel William Church and General George Wingate. Two Civil War heroes who also served as Presidents of the NRA are featured – General Ambrose Burnside, the NRA’s first President, and General Ulysses S. Grant, a war hero and 18th President of the United States, who served in the NRA’s top position from 1883 to 1885. Featured below the hammer is a rifleman taking aim, an early NRA image used on letterhead and other printed materials.
Left side of the receiver features images associated with the National Rifle Association. In the center, a militia member stands at the ready with his musket, surrounded by the legend, “National Rifle Association Tribute” and a banner which bears the phrase “The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms.” Also prominently displayed is the familiar NRA seal. To the right, the two rifles forming a “V” for “Victory” atop a bull’s-eye represent an illustration that first appeared on NRA’s “Plan for Approved Small Arms Firing Schools.” To the left is a representation of the cover of “Arms and the Man,” the first official NRA magazine, which was later renamed the “American Rifleman.”
