“Daniel Boone was a true American patriot who was a legend in his own lifetime. This gun pays tribute to one of the original pioneers to sojourn out of the thirteen colonies, as well as the settlements that followed,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “The Lost State of Transylvania was a dream of Boone and Henderson, and the goal of this gun is to help ensure that this dream is never forgotten.”
The left side of the slide depicts the 1775 Meeting of Transylvania’s House of Delegates, a continuation of the deeply etched floral scroll and the iconic Colt logo on the rear panel. The top of the slide pays homage to Daniel Boone, featuring a portrait of the pioneer along with his hunting dog and the Great Seal of Kentucky and the Lost State of Transylvania in a 24-karat gold ribbon. The slide and frame flats are highly polished with selective 24-karat gold plated controls, and the grips are made from selectively handpicked genuine Kentucky Bourbon barrels.
