Honoring All Who Stand For Freedom
Millions of Americans have proudly served America,
bravely standing during times of peace and when duty called during times
of war. And many – from the American Revolution to current day battles
in Iraq and Afghanistan – have paid the ultimate sacrifice for the
principles that America stands for – freedom, liberty and justice for
all the citizens of the world.
Today, many of our freedoms are threatened, by outside enemies or
proposed changes from our politicians. When our victory was secured over
Britain, America’s forefathers envisioned our great country and drafted
the essential documents outlining our new nation’s freedoms: the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights. At the heart of those inspired
documents, the Founding Fathers laid a foundation guaranteeing freedom
to every American citizen and limiting the role the government would
play in shaping that freedom.
A Hand-Engraved Masterpiece
Now America Remembers is proud to introduce the American Freedom Tribute
Revolver. Because stainless steel provides a most dramatic canvas for
the elegant, hand-chiseled decoration, we chose the Smith & Wesson Model
627 Pro Series revolver in .357 Magnum® for the American Freedom
Tribute. Since short barrel handguns are currently so popular with
collectors, this 4-inch barreled beauty was selected as the perfect
choice to capture the strength and resilience of American Freedom, and
the determination of all our citizens to retain the freedoms we have
enjoyed for more than 200 years.
Each Pro Series Model 627 features chamfered charge holes for quick
loading during competition, a precision crown muzzle and a bossed
mainspring. Each revolver features a smooth double action with a single
action pull, and includes an interchangeable front sight and an
adjustable rear sight in order to provide for quick target alignment.
This limited production revolver is custom-engineered for competitive
shooting and fires eight shots rather than the usual six, a new
innovation in the world of shooting, hunting and self-defense firearms –
30% more firepower than a sixshot revolver. With eight shots of .357
Magnum, it epitomizes power in a compact firearm.
Each of these museum-quality masterpieces will be hand-engraved,
using the traditional, time-honored hammer and- chisel technique to
complement the lines of this sleek model. Engravers with years of
experience hand-cutting artwork on firearms have been commissioned
specifically for this historic project by America Remembers. The process
by which these Tributes are designed, combining highly skilled
hand-engraving on the frame and barrel with precise laser engraving on
the cylinder, is extensive and cannot be rushed, so please realize the
lead time for this fine engraving could take considerable time. In
addition, each Tribute revolver will be mirror-polished by experienced
firearms polishers.
Impressive 8-Round Cylinder!
Only 250 Available
Only 250 American Freedom Tribute Revolvers will ever be created and are
available exclusively through America Remembers. Since each firearm is
hand-engraved, it will take a number of months to produce each order. Do
not hesitate to make your reservation now so that you can secure your
place in our engravers’ schedule.
Reservations will be accepted in the order they are received. We will
arrange delivery of your working Tribute through a licensed firearms
dealer of your choice. If you are not completely satisfied with your
Tribute after your personal inspection, you may return it to us within
30 days in original unfired condition for a complete and courteous

It has been more than 200 years since the Founding Fathers came
together with the determination to shape our new nation and secure our
national liberties. Yet today, the proud spirit of those who serve
America, along with the voices of everyday citizens, remains strong to
preserve these fundamental American freedoms for every future
generation.
The American Freedom Tribute Revolver is a truly unique presentation
firearm, honoring the history, heritage and patriotism that make America
great. Display this Tribute, and it will be a reminder for all Americans
to be ever-vigilant in protecting our freedoms and an encouragement to
support today’s ongoing battle to protect all the freedoms we cherish in
our nation.

Complementing the overall design are the 24-karat gold-plated hammer,
trigger, side plate screws, cylinder release and cylinder release screw,
along with the handsome, finger-grooved rosewood grips.
The right side of the 4” flat barrel features the hand-chiseled word
“Freedom.” The inlaid American flag and bald eagle medallion perfectly
capture the cherished symbols of American freedom. In stunning enamel,
the steely gaze of a majestic bald eagle is vividly captured against the
red, white and blue backdrop of Old Glory.
The Tribute is hand-engraved with ornate, flowing scrollwork.
Laser-engraved on the cylinder are the words, “The Second Amendment,”
“The Right of the People,” and “To Keep and Bear Arms,” with each letter
laser-engraved crisply into the stainless steel. The words are a potent
reminder of the importance of “America’s First Freedom.”
