ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – SK Guns®, the Nation’s only series-driven, limited-edition manufacturer of custom firearms, is proud to announce the third installment of the Early Italian Renaissance Series. This firearm is a tribute to the works of Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, generally known as Raphael.
“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.”
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 innovations in painting, sculpture and architecture, with each firearm in the Early Italian Renaissance Series offering a limited edition of only 250 units.
The final gun in this collection features engravings of Raphael’s artworks. Coming to life on this firearm, “The Garvagh Madonna,” “The Three Graces,” and “The Miraculous Draught of Fishes” capture the essence of Raphael’s timeless creations for art enthusiasts and firearm collectors alike.
SK Customs uses proprietary color conversion to create a pastel rose 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 pastel rose 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.
This new installment of the Early Italian Renaissance series is available for shipping immediately.
MSRP starts at $2405.
