SK Guns®, the Nation's only series-driven, limited-edition manufacturer of custom firearms, is proud to announce the third production in its popular Conquerors Series: Julius Caesar. As a limited-production release, only 200 Colt 1911 pistols chambered in .38 Super will be available to collectors and enthusiasts.
"Caesar was a Roman general, politician and writer whose conquests changed the history of the ancient world. He moved his armies quickly, built bridges, forts and siege works, and used discipline to defeat larger forces," said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. "His conquest made him legendary, but it also helped bring the Roman Republic to an end and reshaped Europe for centuries after."
Details on the right side of the guns slide exhibit Caesar crossing the Rubicon in January 49 BC, an act of treason also known as the point of no return that sparked the Great Roman Civil War. This legendary river in northeastern Italy served as the legal northern boundary of the Roman province of Italy proper, separating it from Cisalpine Gaul.
Details on the left side of the slide focus on the conquest of Gaul, also known as the Gallic Wars (taking place in modern France), which secured the natural border of "The Empire to the Rhine," referring to two major geopolitical entities: the Roman Empire and the First French Empire under Napoleon Bonaparte.
The top of the slide near the rear sight is decorated with the Temple of Divus Julius — (Temple of Caesar). The top of the slide near the front sight features an image of Caesar in his prime.
The frame, slide and select control are all high-polished in a deep Colt Royal Blue finish. The controls are in 24k gold. The gun is made complete with an engraved logo of the Conquerors Series and Caesar on presentation black Kirinite grips, color-filled.
