ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – December 20, 2024 – SK Guns®, the Nation’s only series-driven, limited-edition manufacturer of custom firearms, is proud to announce the fourth and final installment of the Early Italian Renaissance series. SK Customs partnered with Springfield Armory on these engraver model 1911s as a tribute to Andrea del Sarto in a limited run of only 250 units.
“This firearm is the perfect end to our Early Italian Renaissance Series,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “Andrea del Sarto was one of the most prolific artists of his time. His works were so immaculate that he became known as ‘the faultless painter.’ We hope this firearm is able to capture the same detail and beauty that defined his works.”
The Early Italian Renaissance Series symbolizes the turn of the 15th century marking a cultural rebirth, focusing on classical knowledge, art and humanism that sparked the innovations in painting, sculpture and architecture. This firearm features engravings of del Sarto’s most famous paintings: “Battesimo Della Gente,” “Triumph of Ceaser” and “The Disputation on the Trinity.”
SK Customs uses proprietary color conversion to create a Monticello peach color, which is
highly reflective and permanent. The firearm wears genuine imported Italian Olivewood grip
panels engraved with Italy’s Fleur De Lis, which are hand-painted to match the Monticello peach accents on the slide.
SK Customs completes this work of art with a semi-polished finish on the frame and slide flats, a highly polished barrel and selective 24k gold plating to the art and select parts.
The complete Early Italian Renaissance Series can be found here. The collection is made up of four firearms: Michelangelo, Raphaello, Leonardo da Vinci and Andrea del Sarto. Enthusiasts can also purchase the entire collection with matching serial numbers, an installment dubbed the “Gold Series.” This series includes an optional display case and matching 24k gold etched blades numbered to match the set.
This launch is available for shipping beginning in late February. MSRP starts at $2,405, and is available for purchase here.
