SK Customs is proud to celebrate “The Lady of Guadalupe” Day with the Gun of the Year, a limited-edition Colt 1911 chambered in .38 Super. With only 300 units available, the Lady of Guadalupe firearm commemorates great cultural and religious significance.
The royal blue polished pistol pays homage to the miraculous appearances of the Virgin Mary to Juan Diego, who was an Aztec convert to Christianity, on December 9 and December 12, 1531. During her first apparition she requested that a shrine to her be built on the spot where she appeared, Tepeyac Hill, which is now in a suburb of Mexico City.
The slide features illustrations of the roses that Mary presented to Juan Diego during her second apparition. In a second audience with the bishop, Juan Diego opened his cloak, letting dozens of roses fall to the floor and revealing the image of Mary imprinted on the inside of the cloak.
The top of the slide portrays the image of Our Lady Guadalupe accompanied by an Angel at her feet with wings reminiscent of the Eagle wings from the Mexican flag. The 24k Gold stars strewn across her mantle imply that the Lady is greater than the stars in the sky, which the Aztecs worshipped as gods. This same image signifies her historical significance during the Mexican War of Independence and the Great Revolution of 1910.

Awesome piece. I would be a player but the blue grips are just a bit out there for me. I understand the connection of blue to the Virgin Mary however I don’t think she would mind if they were black and gold.
