Did Nixon ever get a presentation rifle ? not sure still looking - found this





The letter went to Nixon deputy assistant Dwight Chapin, who wrote a memo to Nixon's chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman. "Elvis showed up here this morning and has requested a meeting with the President

Meeting approved, Elvis entered the building. Armed. Sort of. "I got a call from the Secret Service telling me we had a little problem, because Elvis had brought a gun in to give the president," Krogh recalled in an interview for "Frontline," the PBS series. "I had to go over and explain to them that 'No guns in the Oval Office' was standard policy around here." The gift was a WWII commemorative gun that Elvis had taken from his own wall.



This beautiful Detonics Servicemaster in .45 was made for presentation to Ronald W Reagan back in 1986, by a young Tom Selleck ( Big Detonics fan ) including Sealed signed letter from Tom to Ron describing the total awesomeness of the Detonics, on Tom Selleck letter head with accompanying photos of the gun in it original Haliburton Zero brief case, with the blue velvet lined walnut wood presentation box.. An unfired mint condition Detonics Servicemaster in .45 (Seattle made) with fully engraved custom serial number RWR001 . This gun never made it in to Ronnys hands. Something to do with tax reform and the R&D loop hole closure of 1986. But this was built for and intended for Ronald Wilson Reagan. This is a true collectors item. One of a kind . All the fan stuff is included Haliburton, the pictures the unopened autographed letter, the walnut inner box. 1986 was an incredible time for the US

This gold-plated AR-15 was presented to President Kennedy by Colt Firearms
