Abused By Illusions

I found this on the Glock FAQ page. I found it interesting that this is not only engraved on one side Desert Storm Commemorative but on the other side as New World Order Commemorative. The names of coalition countries are engraved along the top. They also have the links assembled here for other rare Glock releases.

See the pictures of the New World Order/Desert Storm Glock above.

Desert Storm Glock


This was a 1991 series of 1000 Glock 17s which had special engraving on it. A list of names of all the coalition countries is engraved down the top of the slide; "Operation Desert Storm/January 16-February 27, 1991" is engraved on the right side. On the left side is "New World Order/Commemorative".

The first 15 Desert Storm Glocks were special presentation models and had the special "bright black" finish. The special engraving on these was also slightly altered from the standard. These pistols were supposed to go to:

UD000US: George Bush, Commander-in-Chief
UD001US: Gen. H. Norman Schwartzkopf III (Commander-in-Chief, CentCom)
UD002US: James Baker III (Secy of State)
UD003US: Gen. Colin Powell (Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff)
UD004US: Dick Cheney (Secy of Defense)
UD005US: Brent Scowcroft (National Security Advisor)
UD006US: Lt. Gen. Thomas Kelly
UD007US: Lt. Gen. Chuck Horner (Commander, Air Forces, CentCom)
UD008US: Maj. Gen. Robert B Johnston (Chief-of-Staff, CentCom)
UD009US: Lt. Gen. Calvin Waller (Dpty Commander-in-Chief, CentCom)
UD010US: Lt. Gen. Walter Boomer (Commander, I MEF)
UD011US: Vice Adm. Stanley Arthur (Commander, Naval Forces, CentCom)
UD012US: Maj. Gen. William "Gus" Pagonis (Chief of Logistics, CentCom)
UD013US: Brig. Gen. Richard Neal (Operations Ofcr., CentCom)

Part of the special engraving was these men's names and ranks engraved on the slide. In addition all of these special presentations along with the next 35 Desert Storm Glocks came with the Wooden Display case made specially for the Desert Storm Glocks. The remaining 950 Desert Storm Commemoratives came in the standard Glock Box, but with desert camoflage labels.

This is the lid of the box that the Desert Storm Commemorative comes in. In addition to the camoflage label on the top lid, there are special indications on the standard box labels on the ends which indicate it to be a Desert Storm Commemorative.

These are pictures of the left and right sides of the slide. There are special markings on both sides, however they are restricted to the muzzle-end of the slide ahead of the ejection port area. Compare this to the full-length engraving down the top of the slide in a picture below. Also note that the normal markings for caliber and model are still there. [MakeMineA10mm]


The absolutely most interesting feature of the Desert Storm Glock is the top of the slide, shown here. The entire length of the slide has the names of all the countries in the Desert Storm coalition engraved in it, both above AND below the ejection port. The Desert Storm Commemorative is the only Glock that has special markings/engraving on the top of the slide right from the factory.

What will it say for the title of dubya?
they probably dont' have enough room to put all of his wonderful deeds such as being the new hitler, starting the new concept of pre-emptive war to rape and pilage a country for oil, being a stupid idiot whose finest and most sincere moments were on the football field cheerleading, a terrific linguist, a superb puppet, butchering civil rights, getting ready to butcher social security, etc, etc, etc plus the next four years of accomplishments

Dumbya, I believe, is the useful idiot those with real power have put at the helm to take the blame when they scuttle, both physically and fiscally, the country for the final time.
