The Colt[R] Founding Fathers.

From: Guns Magazine  |  Date: 6/1/2003

Charlton Heston calls them "The men who invented our country;" you also know them as our Founding Fathers!

But liberal society today would have us forget them--for one reason, because they clearly stated in writing our Firearms Freedom in the Second Amendment!

Now, Colt and The American Historical Foundation bring you an Official Colt Collectible that spits in the eye of this troubling trend. For the first time since the Second Amendment, and for the first time since Samuel Colt's first firearm, our Founding Fathers and our Second Amendment are honored in this Museum-Quality Limited Edition firearm -- appropriately an M1911A1 .45, which protected our freedoms in the hands of our Armed Forces longer than any other sidearm!

"The Colt Founding Father[TM]-Second Amendment[R] M1911A1 Limited Edition" also brings you a second collecting "first." It is the first commemorative Colt ever issued (and the first Colt since 1900-2902) fitted with the original arch-ended walnut grip panels, as designed in 1895 by John M. Browning, himself, for the first Colt automatic pistol. Appropriately, this is a firing collectible which you could use to defend your home, family or nation.

Custom Gunsmithing

* The sacred, solemn words of our Second Amendment are proudly etched in deep bas relief into the slide for all to see. Appropriate to their importance, they are emphasized in a banner of genuine 24-Karat Gold, plated to Jewelers Grade-Heavy thickness.

* These are surmounted on traditional etched American scrollwork inspired by classic engraved Colts of an earlier age.

* For lasting beauty and value, nine components are plated with 24-Karat Gold, to Jewelers Grade-Heavy thickness.

* All steel surfaces are polished to a mirror finish-only possible by the most-skilled gun polishers.

* In contrast to the gleaming 24-Karat Gold, all other surfaces are custom high temperature immersion blued.

* The custom built American Walnut grip panels proudly display the incised signatures of eight of our Founding Fathers- four on the left grip and four on the right--without whom we might not enjoy our Firearms Freedom today.

This is strictly limited to only 1,791 pieces, in honor of the year of ratification of the Bill of Rights, with its important Second Amendment A "One of 100" Hand engraved Edition is also available.
