The Rolls-Royce Commemorative Shotgun was to be issued to commemorate Rolls Royce’s 100^th Anniversary. There was to be only 100 produced worldwide. With the take over of Rolls Royce by Audi this issue stagnated over the use of the Rolls Royce name and who would have rights to its use. Since arrangements for this issue were originally made with the Rolls Royce Company of England and the Rolls Royce Owner’s Club, there developed a question as to who would actually be sponsoring this limited edition icon. As a result, this issue was canceled after only the #1 of 100 was produced. Only the # 1 of 100 and the Proof gun were produced. This issue can never be reopened.

The #1 of 100 originally sold for the $7,000 issue price. An immediate offer for over $10,000 was refused for the purchase of this gun. The Proof gun was never released but was to be offered for an issue price of $10,000 if the issue had been completed.

The Ruger Red Label Over and Under Shotgun was selected because of its high quality and the fact that Bill Ruger was an active member of the Rolls Royce Owner’s Club. The shotgun is 24k Gold plated and profusely engraved with eleven Rolls-Royce automobiles and other Rolls-Royce icons. The gun was issued with a French fitted hard case.

This Proof is for sale. It includes the Oak display case with glass front and mirrored back and the French fitted case.
