Colt 1911 Daniel Boone 45 ACP Pistol 5" Barrel 8+1 Round Engraved Stainless Slide Wood Grip Stainless Polished Frame

From the Gun Makers of SK Guns, the Colt 1911 Lost State Series Daniel Boone Pistol commemorates the pioneer and frontiersman, Daniel Boone. Boone served as a militia officer during the Revolutionary War (1775-1783), which was fought in Kentucky primarily between American settlers and British-allied Indians. Boone was taken in by Shawnees in 1778 and adopted into the tribe, but he resigned and continued to help protect the Kentucky settlements. Daniel Boone had an interest for the "sylvania" suffix. If he'd had his way, Kentucky would have been called Transylvania, and the colony's capital, Boonesborough. This is the influence behind the Loat State of Transylvania engraving design on this 1911. Details on the right side of the gun's slide include a map of the region in 24k Gold plating with the State of Transylvania decorated in silver, and a deeply etched floral scroll. A portrait of Richard Henderson, and the Coat of Arms with special edition numbers of One of 200 is featured on the gun's slide.On the left of the gun's slide includes a depiction of the 1775 Meeting of Transylvania House of Delegates, a continuation of the deeply etched floral scroll, and the iconic Colt logo on the rear panel.On top of the slide is a portrait of Daniel Boone, and his hunting dog, along with the Great Seal of Kentucky and the Lost State of Transylvania in a 24k Gold ribbon. The slide and frame flats are high polished with selective 24K Gold plated controls and the grips are made from selectively handpicked genuine Kentucky Bourbon barrels.
