Sometimes looking at fine craftsmanship also makes me write something more flowery just to emphasize how exquisite this handgun from SK Customs is. A new era dawns in the world of firearms as SK Customs and Springfield Armory forge a remarkable partnership. This collaboration ushers in an unprecedented fusion of artistry and weaponry with the debut of the first-ever engravers model 1911, adorned with the exquisite motifs of the Early Italian Renaissance.

The third in this series is "Raphello" or "Raphael."

The third masterpiece in this limited series is a resplendent homage to the incomparable Raphael. His iconic works, "The Garvagh Madonna," "The Three Graces," and "The Miraculous Draught of Fishes," are meticulously etched onto the firearm, transforming it into a tangible canvas for the artist's genius.

This collection encapsulates the essence of a cultural rebirth, a period marked by a profound reverence for classical knowledge and humanism. As the Renaissance ignited a revolution in painting, sculpture, and architecture, so too does this firearm ignite a passion for artistic expression within the realm of firearms.

With a limited edition of just 250 pieces, each firearm reflects unparalleled craftsmanship. SK Customs' proprietary pastel rose color, a striking and enduring hue, is meticulously applied to the firearm, complemented by genuine Italian Olivewood grip panels, elegantly engraved and hand painted.

The firearm's allure is further enhanced by a semi-polished finish on the frame and slide flats, a mirror-like barrel, and selective 24k gold plating that accentuates the intricate artistry. This harmonious blend of form and function creates a masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of traditional firearms.

“The ‘Raphaello’ is a masterpiece that embodies the essence of Raphael’s artistic brilliance. We designed it with meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship, aiming to create a firearm that pays homage to the renowned Italian painter and architect,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “This limited-edition piece is a testament to the fusion of art and functionality, combining the beauty of Renaissance aesthetics with the precision and reliability of modern firearms.”
