the production of 300 21-inch bronze/granite,
certified, serialized, limited edition, exact replicas, of the monument for
sale. At the writing of this article, all 300 of the statuettes and
the corresponding limited edition certificates have been delivered to
supporters around the globe, from Canada, United Arab Emirates (UAE), United Kingdom
(UK),
Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and many US cities, coast to coast.
The last statuette has sold. We have retained two that you may be the lucky
recipient of. One of them #273-300 is going to be raffled off at the 2012 10th
bi-annual Navy Divers Association (NDA) reunion in Bremerton, Washington May
6-10, 2012. The second and last one #261-300 will be given away as a door
prize at the Mark V Monument unveiling/dedication banquet
(date to be determined).
Some people purchase more than one as investments. The last ten statuettes sold
for $3,000.00 each. We expect to see some on eBay or other sites soon in the $4,000
to $5,000
range. Those of you that have purchased statuettes you have not only supported
the realization of the Mark V Monument,
you are the owner of a
"Piece
of Art."
Dedication & Unveiling of
“JAKE”
We are presently negotiating a delivery date of JAKE with Paul Guiver, to
support the dedication on either
October 26, or November 2, 2012. As soon as we finalize a date, we will be
positing the information on FACE BOOK, the website and massive emails.
Thanks again to all of you who have supported this worthy project.
PS. More news to follow concerning the
Diving Association of Wise Guys (DAWGs)
We actually only sold 296 statuettes. We have given
away in drawings serial # 001-300, #200-300, #098-300 and we completed
the fourth raffle at the 2011 Master Diver Reunion. There will not
be anymore raffles conducted by the MVMPI. However, you can
purchase one like DIVER'S RECALL did to conduct your own raffle
The “REPLICA SALES” tab indicates how many statuettes have been
purchased, the corresponding serial numbers and who purchased them.
