Outstanding work of art was created in 1999 and captures the legendary Maurice Rocket Richard as he gets ready to unleash one of his lethal wrist shots. The 24-karat gold-plated bronze statue is titled "Never Give Up" which is engraved into the base in both English and French, along with Maurice's facsimile autograph. This particular statue is numbered 8/9 and was originally gifted to Sonia Raymond by Richard, his companion in his later years. On a heavy diamond-shaped granite base, the striking piece stands 9" high and is in perfect condition. An LOA signed by Sonia Raymond will accompany, along with an "Au Coeur du Bronze"" certificate of authenticity signed by Richard, Serge Savard and others, with a note also signed by Richard stating that he gifted this statue to Sonia Raymond handwritten on the back of the COA.
