Luke Volkmann is a bespoke maker of 1911 platform istols, and builds his pistols in-house, one at a time, totally by himself. His pistols are top quality, can be completely customized by the customer, and the wait to get them is just shy of a year. This example has a 14k gold bead front sight, unmarked LPA style adjustable rear sight, serrated top rib to break up glare, front and rear cocking serrations, and small parts comprising lightened commander style hammer, left side only safety, checkered magazine release, 3-hole curved trigger, beavertail grip safety with speed bump, and a flat mainspring housing, with scalloping along front strap and mainspring housing. The gun has been masterfully engraved in approximately C class coverage of well-cut acanthus scroll on an extremely finely stippled ground; no engraving signature noted. Smooth burl walnut grips. Housed in a Volkmann Precision presentation case with French fit for gun, a cartridge block for 7 rounds of .45 ACP, and a compartment currently with key. Accompanied by a Volkmann Precision branded Bulldog soft case with a copy of the original order form, indicating configuration, a pocket copy of the Constitution, and manual. CONDITION: Outstanding, NOS or equivalent, with only extremely minor marks from handling. Grips are excellent with fantastic figure. Mechanically fine, bore is bright and shiny with crisp rifling. Accessories are excellent.
