SK Customs®, the country’s only series-driven limited-edition custom firearms manufacturer, is bringing ancient Egyptian history to life through the launch of a new series, Gods of Egypt. Debuting with the Anubis, this limited edition production of just 200 custom Smith & Wesson 1911 Series engravers represents one of the world’s oldest civilizations.
Thousands of years ago, hungry jackals dug shallow graves in the desert of ancient Egypt. For the Egyptians, this was a fate worse than death itself. As the god of cemeteries, embalming, and grave protection, Anubis played an important role in the journey to the afterlife. The jackal-headed deity resided over the care of the dead and loved ones of the Egyptians.
“The Anubis is nothing less than a work of art depicting the fascinating history and culture of the ancient Egyptians,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Customs. “We are in the business of creating unique collectibles that accentuate historical events, influential leaders, rituals, cultures and more. The Anubis is the perfect weapon to start the Gods of Egypt series.”
The S&W 1911 is chambered in 45ACP. Each side of the firearm features Egyptian hieroglyphics leading towards the muzzle. The right side shows Anubis engraved in 24-carat gold, while the left side shows Anubis performing the mummification of the deceased. The rear panels symbolize the key Egyptian concepts, truth and justice, with a scale weighing a heart against a feather. The top of the slide is engraved with the Ankh hieroglyphic symbol, which means “life.”
A Uniquely Custom 24k gold pyramid decorates the front sight, while the serrations are deeply etched with a lotus flower representing creation and rebirth. Each grip panel is designed to represent Anubis and the rich history of the ancient Egyptians.
