The mottos “FREEDOM, EQUALITY, OPPORTUNITY, LOVE, UNITY” and “HOPE” border the front of the cylinder in 24k gold, flush, block letters. The inscription “engraved by L. Francolini” is located on the front of the frame. The highlight of the barrel is a gorgeous 14K gold inlay of the Statue of Liberty with a flame of 14K pink gold, the pedestal is also executed in 14k pink gold. The level of detail cannot be overstated in this revolver and the case, the four hinges, key plate, latch plate, key bodies, the box knob, twenty seven screws and two nails in the oak revolver case were all cast from copper used in the original Statue of Liberty. The Liberty 100 appeared on the cover of the American Rifleman in July 1986 and in Man at arms in August 1996. The plaque inside the case is an actual piece of the outer skin of the statue.
