A Unique, Personalized Tribute To The Hero Of Your Choice
Each Tribute is individually handcrafted with custom created artwork to honor the American hero of your choice. Memorialize your own service on a keepsake for your family. Honor the memory of a long gone loved one. Thank a close friend or family member for their selfless service. Or salute a currently deployed soldier, fighting right now overseas.
It’s YOUR Choice. It’s YOUR Tribute.
We’ll make each Tribute to order, decorated by hand in 24-Karat gold and mirror-polished blued steel. You send us a military photo and the basic service information about the member of the armed forces you want to celebrate. We’ll handle the rest.
Our expert craftsmen will create an original portrait from the photo on the slide of the most distinguished military firearm of all time – the legendary Colt .45 pistol. Custom Finished To Your Needs
The 24-Karat gold decorated Distinguished Service Tribute is the embodiment of elegance and power. In addition to the handsome, detailed artwork on the pistol, each Tribute features rosewood grips with the classic “double-diamond” checkering pattern, enhanced with these special features:
• The elegantly rendered personalized, 24-karat gold-decorated portrait of the chosen honoree is displayed proudly in the center of the slide, surrounded by the rank, name, service branch and dates of service. A logo of their service branch is featured prominently on the slide near the hammer.
• Each pistol is decorated in 24-karat gold with a handsome, yet traditional, military panoply along the slide featuring classic banners and laurel leaves.
• The right side of the slide features a hanging banner reading “Duty, Honor, Service,” flanked by traditional American firearms scrolls. Beside it, a heartfelt thank you is proudly displayed in 24-karat gold against the dark blued steel:
