What’s Included
- Wood-and-glass presentation/display case with interior edition plaque: Happy Trails To You Roy Rogers Tribute Revolver — Issued by America Remembers — An Edition of 250
Built on Uberti’s 1873 Single Action Army–pattern platform, this six-shot revolver is chambered in .45 Colt with a 5.5 inch barrel and single-action-only operation. It is configured with fixed iron sights, using a blade front and topstrap notch rear, and wears smooth high-gloss walnut one-piece-style grips.
The tribute theme is fully realized through A & A Engraving’s scrollwork and dedicated motifs: portrait vignettes of Roy Rogers and RR monograms on the cylinder, banners reading "HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU" and "ROY ROGERS TRIBUTE" on the barrel, and a Roy Rogers facsimile signature on the backstrap.
This example is part of a limited run of 250 issued by America Remembers, and is marked on the buttstrap "150 OF 250 America Remembers Ashland, VA." Additional markings include the A & A Engraving Inc. (Rapid City, SD) stamp and the Italian proof date code "CM."
Construction is all-steel with extensive bright gold plating on the barrel, frame, cylinder, ejector housing, hammer, trigger, and grip straps. The result is a cohesive presentation-grade finish that complements the commemorative engraving suite.
Made in Italy and designated as a reproduction, the revolver retains the iconic 1873 profile while delivering a themed, limited-edition presentation backed by clear provenance and edition numbering.
