Gun is back up for sale.
http://www.heinie.com/information.php?info_id=23 http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=178939195 Heinie's announcement: uly 12, 2010 A lot has been happening behind the scenes with the online custom pistol auction to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. We finally have some good news to report. But first, let me bring you up to speed. The original online auction was for a one-of-a-kind, commemorative pistol I built with the St. Jude logo on the grip. With much regret, two weeks ago I was forced to cancel the online auction after receiving an e-mail from ALSAC, the fundraising organization that supports St. Jude. They asked me to stop all "advertisements, web postings and any auction activity immediately.” Based on the communications we received, we interpreted this action to mean they did not want the association between a pistol and the hospital. This was frustrating because before I customized the pistol, I had received verbal permission from a St. Jude's office to use the hospital logo on the pistol. Apparently, there was internal miscommunication. ALSAC has apologized and supports the pistol auction as long as the hospital logo isn’t on it. Of course, I am honoring St. Jude’s request and have removed the logo from the pistol. Today, I happy to report that the custom-made 1911 pistol is once again available for auction at gunbroker.com. All of the proceeds will go to support St. Jude. The pistol will be a beautiful addition to someone’s collection while benefiting an important cause. I customized this pistol from the heart to help the hospital. As a cancer survivor myself, I appreciate the wonderful work St. Jude does for children with serious diseases. Many people are enthused and interested in bidding on the pistol so we hope to raise substantial funds for the children of St. Jude. My wife, Marilyn, and I have been long-time supporters of St. Jude and are four-year veterans of the St. Jude Quincy to Peoria Run. We’re excited to participate in the 135-mile trek again in August along with our employee, Sara Davis. It’s a life-changing experience that allows us all to make an important difference in the lives of children. Thank you to Springfield Armory who donated the pistol, Kurtz Miller who scrimshaw engraved the pistol grips, and MD Custom Machine who did the slide machining and finish. Thank you again for your support, kind words and camaraderie in our mission to support St. Jude. Best wishes to everyone participating in the St. Jude Quincy to Peoria Run August 6 and 7. Sincerely, Richard Heinie Heinie Specialty Products |
