Springfield Armory M1 Garand – Iwo Jima Commemorative Edition 1 of 1945

Description:
For Sale: Springfield Armory M1 Garand – Iwo Jima Commemorative Edition (.30-06)
Limited Edition #1021 of 1945 – New in Box, Complete Presentation Set
Offered here is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a true collector’s treasure: the Springfield Armory M1 Garand Iwo Jima Commemorative Edition, chambered in .30-06 Springfield and crafted as a respectful tribute to one of the most pivotal and heroic moments of World War II. This rifle is more than a commemorative firearm it is a historical artifact honoring the courage and perseverance of the United States Marines who fought on the black sands of Iwo Jima.
This example is brand-new, unfired, and preserved exactly as it left the factory. It is Limited Edition #1021 of only 1,945 produced, a number chosen to mark the year of the battle. The rifle is built with an American Walnut stock, beautifully grained and finished to complement the iconic M1 Garand silhouette. In hand or on display, it has the unmistakable presence of a firearm meant to honor history rather than simply replicate it.
The 24" barrel and forged steel components maintain the classic Garand proportions, but the artistry applied to this commemorative model elevates it far beyond the ordinary. The engraving work is exceptional, using precise laser etching to create historically significant imagery and text that immediately draws attention:
A detailed engraving of the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi, one of the most enduring images of American resolve. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th Marine Division insignias, acknowledging the units that stormed and secured the island
A finely rendered Medal of Honor, symbolizing valor and sacrifice. And a solemn, powerful quote from Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, encapsulating the extraordinary heroism displayed during the battle
These elements are integrated tastefully into the rifle’s wood and metal surfaces, giving it a respectful, commemorative tone without overwhelming the classic Garand lines.
This rifle comes with an extensive presentation package, all in new, untouched condition, which further amplifies its collector value:
Numbered pine crate presentation case featuring hand-drawn naval artwork, the limited-edition number, and a period photo of the USS Missouri, where Japan formally surrendered
Leather sling, ready for display or preservation
Four enbloc clips, still sealed and pristine
M1 Garand cleaning kit, complete and unused
Certificate of Authenticity, verifying its limited-edition status
Heroes of Iwo Jima DVD, offering historical context and documentary footage
Flags of Our Fathers book, bridging the story of the battle with the iconic photograph that inspired this edition
The crate itself is impressive solid pine with historical artwork, hinged and fitted to securely cradle the rifle. When displayed open, it looks like something you’d expect to find in a curated museum exhibit. When closed, it protects the rifle with a sense of reverence and respect befitting the history it represents.
From its untouched factory grease to the crispness of the engravings, every part of this set reminds you that it was built to preserve memory, honor service, and celebrate American craftsmanship. This Iwo Jima Commemorative Garand stands tall among limited-edition firearms historically significant, visually stunning, and complete in every way.
Whether you collect M1 Garands, WWII commemoratives, Marine Corps memorabilia, or heirloom-quality arms, this example belongs at the center of a serious collection.
A pristine, museum-worthy tribute to American heroism complete, untouched, and ready to become a legacy piece for the next generation.
