New Guy w/ three 870s (question on Vietnam tribute shotgun)
Hey guys. New guy here with three 870s. I have a Marine Magnum (25012), a Police Marine Magnum (25047), and I just found a Vietnam 50th Anniversary Tribute 870. My intro and question is mainly about the Vietnam tribute shotgun. There really isn’t much online about these shotguns, other than what is on the America Remembers website. I purchased it for what I believe was an amazing price (considerably less than the $1,895 MSRP). And it appears to be unfired and basically brand new. I’ve never heard of these till I jumped on this one. Does anyone else on here have one? Are they desirable at all? I know only 500 were made. Seems like an awfully cool shotgun, with the 24kt artwork and the honor/respect for those who served. Plus, it’s a Police Magnum...so it’s a good one anyways. I’ve never been a fan of displaying guns in my home on the wall, but this shotgun seems worthy of that. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks Scorpion8. Here’s a link to the page when they were introduced. Never heard of it either. I assume it was sort of an aftermarket upfit, similar to how Regency customizes new trucks for example. But it looks cool nonetheless. And hey, it’s a Police Magnum too.

That's cool. Ultimately in the day, Remington made so many commemorative models of this and that. You got a nice one!
