Win a One-of-a-Kind Marine Corps Commemorative Colt 1911 The Marine Gunner Association is proud to offer a truly exceptional firearm through this special charitable raffle. Colt has generously donated a Marine Corps commemorative Colt 1911, one of only three pistols in a commemorative series honoring the United States Army, Navy, and Marine Corps.

Colt partnered with Baron Engraving to create a presentation-grade pistol featuring a high-polish frame and slide, deep engraving with hand-engraved bright cuts, selective 24-karat gold plating, and polished white Kirinite presentation grips featuring the gold Colt pony. The pistol carries the custom serial number: 250ANV003 This extraordinary firearm reflects Colt&rsquo;s longstanding connection to the United States military and represents a unique tribute to the Marines and the legacy of service shared by generations of Marine Gunners.
