"With the company celebrating 25 years in the United States, Mr. Glock wanted to give those who helped the company achieve that milestone of success an opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind piece," Glock Vice President Gary Fletcher said. The Statue of Liberty pistol was selected to recognize Glock's 25th Anniversary in the United States, which coincides with the 125th anniversary of Lady Liberty's installation in New York Harbor.
Glock is also sweetening the deal by including a framed drawing of the original Glock 17, signed by Gaston Glock, and a hunting trip with R. Lee "The Gunny" Ermey. If I win the auction, I plan on taking The Gunny cougar hunting at Mardi Gras. Wish me luck.
