HAYMARKET, VA (April 5, 2022) – SK Customs® is proud to release #001 of “The Emperor,” a Bicentennial Anniversary production firearm and the first creation in the company’s all-new Mexican War of Independence Series is now for auction on GunBroker.com.
“The Emperor” is a limited edition production run of only 200 Full Size Government Model Colt 1911 chambered in 38 Super. Each pistol includes a special engraved edition number and is accompanied with a replica reproduction of Mexico’s Declaration of Independence.
This historically significant war was fought for 11 years and 11 days. It ended more than 200 years ago on September 27th, 1821, when Agustín De Iturbide, a Commanding General and Conservative Politian, led Ejército Trigarante or Ejército de las Tres Garantías (Translation: The Army of the Three Guarantees) in vanquishing the Spanish from ruling over the Mexican native lands. On September 28th, 1821, Iturbide was first to sign Mexico’s Declaration of Independence. That same year he was proclaimed the First President of the Regency, and shortly after he was declared the First Emperor of Mexico.
“We honored Mexico’s independence by launching this very exclusive limited edition in 2021, and now we are commemorating their freedom once again, by partnering with GunBroker.com to auction the most desirable #001 of this series,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Customs®.
The last day to bid on this commemorative firearm is Sunday, April 10, 2022.
Later this year SK Customs® has plans to release “Premier Presidente” with Guadalupe Victoria, Mexico’s first president during the era of the Mexican War of Independence, and their second production in their Mexican War of Independence Series.
