SK Guns Conquerors Series 1911s
Honoring conquerors, Alexander the Great, born of King Phillip II of Macedonia, ruled an ancient dynasty. The royal lineage paved the way for Alexander’s incredible military success. Tutored by Aristotle, Alexander became educated in philosophy, medicine and science.
Shortly after assuming his divine right of kingship, Alexander proceeded to battle. His victories led him to control the League of Corinth, launch the Pan-Hellenic project, take leadership over all Greeks in their conquest of Persia and eventually led to the overthrow of King Darius III of Persia.
“Alexander’s conquest throughout Asia and Egypt established one of Earth’s largest empires and led to over twenty cities named after him or one of his closest followers,” said Simon Khiabani, owner and founder of SK Guns. “Alexander the Great exemplifies the modern image of an ancient conqueror, and we could not think of a better figure in our world’s history to introduce this new series.”
