Semper Fi Arms is honored to be the FFL Dealer chosen to receive this piece of history. Pictured here is a Smith & Wesson 1917 DA .45 ACP Revolver that belonged to Jimmie Rodgers, commonly known as the “Father of Country Music”. It was passed down from his great nephew to be featured in the Jimmie Rodgers Museum in Meridian, MS. Pictured here in the middle is Alana Sparrow Broughton, Executive Director of the Jimmie Rodgers Foundation. On the right is board member Jason Armstrong and myself on the left.
