The Mort Künstler Civil War Sesquicentennial Tribute Rifle

Honoring the 150th Anniversary of the War Between the States with the Artwork of an American Master

One hundred and fifty years ago, our nation was torn by war. Four years of conflict forced state against state and brother against brother. By the end of the Civil War, America would be shattered, but even though the War Between the States tore us apart, it brought us back together stronger than ever, creating a true United States of America.   
         

Mort Künstler is a critically acclaimed artist who can simultaneously reveal the fear on a soldier’s face and the courage in his heart. His talent and passion keeps the heroes of American history alive, ensuring that they will never be forgotten.

As our nation marks the 150th anniversary of an era that reshaped the country, America Remembers announces the Mort Künstler Civil War Sesquicentennial Tribute Rifle, issued exclusively by America Remembers. The Tribute is a meticulously-detailed working recreation of the Henry Rifle in caliber .44-.40 crafted by the incomparable artisans of A. Uberti.

For this Tribute, craftsmen decorate each working .44-.40 caliber Henry Rifle, in sparkling 24-karat gold and brushed nickel artwork with a blackened patinaed background highlighting the details of the artwork. The classic Henry Rifle is considered by many as the most technologically advanced and one of the most trusted rifles of the Civil War.

It’s been a century and a half since the last gunshots of the Civil War echoed across the countryside, but the epic conflicts and battlefield heroes from the era continue to captivate us. This masterpiece dedicated to the fight for freedom will stand as a reminder of what it means to be a proud citizen of the United States of America.

The blue 24 1/4” octagonal barrel is complemented by hand-polished American walnut stocks, featuring Künstler’s own laser-carved signature, and stunning decorations throughout in 24-karat gold. The left side features a recreation of the painting, “On to Richmond: Grant in the Wilderness-May 7, 1864”, where Grant leads his troops on to Richmond. Featured in the center, is a depiction of “The Angle: Gettysburg, July 3, 1863”, where Künstler captures the drama of Pickett’s Charge. Also on the left side, there is a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, who steered our country through its most tumultuous time. The right side features a reverent portrait of General Robert E. Lee. Featured in the center is a recreation of “With a Rebel Yell – Second Manassas, August 29, 1862”, which was one of Lee’s greatest victories. Also featured is “A Model Partnership- Winter of 1863”, which depicts Jackson and Lee front and center atop their horses.
