U.S. Armed Forces Commemorative Marine Corps Beretta M9

Success in close quarter combat has always been a specialty, a trademark and a source of pride of U.S. Marines; so sidearms have always been important tools of the trade. For a decade-and-a-half, when Marines have put steel on target and closed with the enemy, the Beretta M9 has been there, at the sharp point of the spear, in the hands of the ultimate weapon—the U.S. Marine. So, what better tribute to U.S. Marines than a firing, Museum-Quality, custom-gunsmithed weapon—especially the one that is the official-issue sidearm of the Corps? Marines and Marine Families have the opportunity to own the world’s first Museum-Quality, individually-numbered Beretta M9, which pays tribute to the Marines of the past, present and future. Each is custom gunsmithed with special features that Marines will appreciate:

  1. Mirror polishing by experienced gun polishers and custom immersion/heat bluing make the weapon shine like the toe of a boot (a D.I. could read his dog tags in it).
  2. Deep etching and selective 24-Karat Gold plating memorialize the name, U.S. Marine Corps, “10 Nov 1775” and “Semper Fidelis”—all in traditional military banners.
  3. Panoplies of leaves from the mighty American Oak, symbolic of strength in combat, cover the panels of the slide and barrel—deeply etched and highlighted with 24-Karat Gold plating.
  4. Nine individual components are also completely plated with 24-Karat Gold for both beauty and smooth function.
  5. All the 24-Karat Gold plating is to Jewelers Grade-Heavy thickness, your lasting assurance of beauty and value.
  6. The custom grips are Rosewood, deluxe finished to high gloss; each grip is inlaid with a fired enamel cloisonné of the Eagle, Globe and Anchor.
  7. Finally, following its last inspection, the M9 is fitted with a custom military lanyard, with 24-Karat Gold plated mount and keepers.

All parts are interchangeable with the Marine Corps issued M9. And, because it fires, it could be called upon to defend your home, family—or, of course, nation.
