Created to celebrate the 100th birthday of our most popular actor who was a great American and great conservative.

Oh my...) and shorter 18 1/2" round carbine barrel. Nicely engraved with a likeness of the Duke on both sides with the dates "1907-2007" and on the right side many of the Duke's ideals: "Courage, Strength, Grit" and his initials - even an engraving of him as old Rooster Cogburn as well! Saddle ring. Silver stock mediallon in buttstock of the actor's portrait and him riding. Shotgun butt. Original box and colorful "100 years of John Wayne" sleeve in excellent condition with correct end label, manual, Wayne literature and other paperwork. A MUST HAVE for the John Wayne aficionado in your life! Think Christmas gift here! Gunrunner West item.
