Benjamin Franklin Tribute Edition .22 S/L/LR

He ran away to Philadelphia at seventeen, built a printing business into a fortune, and retired at forty-two to spend the rest of his life on science and country. The bifocals, the lightning rod, and the Franklin stove were his, and he patented none of them, believing useful things should be given freely. In his seventies he crossed the Atlantic and talked France into the alliance that won the war.

Franklin is the only founder to sign all four of the nation’s founding documents: the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Alliance with France, the Treaty of Paris, and the Constitution. This edition honors him on the Golden Boy Silver, with his portrait in 24kt gold on an engraved, nickel-plated receiver and a stock of Exhibition-grade American walnut, the highest grade Henry uses. Only 250 will be built, one of a series of seven, made in Rice Lake, Wisconsin.
