During the Civil War, a jagged, bloody battle line pitted North against South, and brother against brother. Though The War Between the States is over, the years of conflict that divided a nation will never be forgotten and as the United States marks the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War, there has never been a better time to remember.

America Remembers is proud to introduce a limited edition Tribute honoring this milestone in American history: The Civil War Sesquicentennial Tribute Revolver. This Tribute is a historically appropriate revolver honoring all of those who paid the ultimate price in the struggle for freedom on this historic 150th Anniversary.

For the Civil War Sesquicentennial Tribute, we selected the renowned 1851 Navy Revolver, one of the most popular sidearms of its day. Each Tribute in the edition is a detailed recreation of the legendary Colt 1851 Navy Revolver, created by the incomparable artisans of A. Uberti.

Hand polished walnut grips complement the Tribute which is decorated in stunning 24-karat gold over blued steel by craftsmen commissioned specifically by America Remembers. The centerpiece of the Tribute is the elaborately illustrated cylinder, decorated with a dramatic scene depicting a clash between Union and Confederate soldiers.

The right side of the barrel features the famous phrase used by Abraham Lincoln during his 1858 speech – “A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand.” Lincoln borrowed this axiom from the Bible as a warning about the mounting tensions between the States. Both sides of the frame feature a banner with the dates of the Civil War, “1861-1865”.

The left side of the barrel features a 24-karat gold decorated banner, identifying the revolver as “American Civil War 150th Anniversary Tribute.” Also featured on the left side of the Tribute are the crossed flags of the Union and Confederate forces. With each Civil War Sesquicentennial Tribute Revolver order, a handsome display case is included.

Throughout four years of battle, the Civil War tore the nation in half. Over three million men fought for freedom and by the war’s end in 1865, the struggle had claimed the lives of more Americans than any other war in American history. Even as the Civil War remains our country’s greatest tragedy, it also stands as our most remarkable triumph. This Tribute will stand as a reminder for future generations of what it means to be a proud citizen of the United States of America.

Only 1865 Civil War Sesquicentennial Tribute Revolvers will be issued in this limited edition available exclusively from America Remembers.
