Auction Items
We are working with proven Second Amendment supporters, most of whom are based in or have major facilities in Tennessee, to assemble a unique auction package. These items are already part of that package.
Smith and Wesson
Smith and Wesson is now based in Tennessee. It has supported TFA, TFALAC and the TFF in several ways. It has donated an exclusive commemorative set that has brought as much as $30,000 at other auctions. This special set Number 18 of a 100-unit run of commemorative Model 1854 rifle packaged with a matching Model 29 revolver. The pairing is a natural fit, as the original chamberings for lever actions were in pistol calibers to match the handgun carried on the range. A beautiful display case contains the Model 1854 Limited rifle, in and of itself a collectible as only 1,854 units of this will be produced. The gloss black finish highlights the high-grade walnut furniture’s satin finish. The famed Model 29 revolver is the legendary 6.5” barreled version in blue carbon steel with walnut grips. The revolver which was made famous in Hollywood is chambered in .44 Magnum. Both the Model 1854 rifle and Model 29 handgun have been engraved and embellished by famed customization house Baron Engraving. The design is inlaid with 22-karat gold and the Model 1854 and Model 29 share complimentary designs. Included with the firearms and display case is a letter from S&W CEO Mark Smith attesting to the set’s origin and limited status.
