Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this one-of-a-kind EYE-CATCHING double-barrel semi-automatic pistol for a penny-start auction; this is the Arsenal Firearms AF2011-A1!
This remarkable set showcases the Arsenal Firearms AF2011-A1, masterfully engraved in American floral scroll by renowned artist Jim Downing, paired with the Digger Dan Damascus Hunter #0751 knife featuring mammoth tusk cross-section scales. Both pieces are housed in a custom-built glass presentation case, creating a striking display of craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless artistry. This collection is a true celebration of fine engraving, blade work, and firearm design.
In addition to its exceptional craftsmanship, the Arsenal Firearms AF2011-A1 featured in this set represents one of the rarest chamberings of this already unique pistol. The production numbers for the AF2011-A1 are heavily weighted toward .45 ACP models, which make up 91% of total production. Just 7% were manufactured in .38 Super, and an incredibly scarce 2% were produced in 9mm—making this variation especially desirable among collectors and enthusiasts. This limited production adds further intrigue and value to an already extraordinary firearm.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Arsenal Firearms AF2011-A1 represents a bold and unconventional leap in firearm design, standing as the world’s first industrially produced double-barreled, semi-automatic pistol. Originating from Italy, the AF2011-A1 was conceived as a functional tribute to the iconic Colt 1911-A1, reimagined in a form that delivers twice the firepower in a single pull of the trigger. Drawing initial inspiration from Swiss armorer Vivian Mueller’s custom double-barreled Sig P210, the AF2011-A1 was developed over a mere six-month period using advanced 3D modeling, stereolithographic prototyping, and precision machining. The result is a mechanically synchronized, twin-barrel pistol that is both a collector’s piece and a fully functional firearm, capable of firing two rounds simultaneously with surprising reliability.

The result is a mechanically synchronized, twin-barrel pistol that is both a collector’s piece and a fully functional firearm, capable of firing two rounds simultaneously with surprising reliability.
Functionally, the AF2011-A1 serves to increase the ballistic output of the standard 9mm cartridge without resorting to a more powerful or specialized ammunition. By doubling the barrels and internal components, Arsenal Firearms effectively created a platform that delivers two projectiles with each shot, potentially increasing stopping power and impact on target. The concept itself has roots in earlier designs, such as the Grieco pistol, which also featured dual barrels with a similar goal. However, the AF2011-A1 distinguishes itself through its industrial-level manufacturing quality and commitment to retaining the operational feel of the classic 1911 design. While it may be viewed as a novelty or collector's item by some, the AF2011-A1 challenges conventional firearm engineering and remains a testament to innovation in modern gunsmithing.
The Damascus Hunter #0751 by Digger Dan is a striking handcrafted knife featuring a 416-layer Damascus blade composed of 5160, 15N20, and Nickel, offering both durability and visual depth. With a .126" blade stock and 1.180" blade depth, it’s built for performance and precision. The handle is fitted with stabilized mammoth tusk cross-section scales and red liners, complemented by mammoth ivory beads for added detail. This full tang construction comes complete with a brown leather sheath featuring an ostrich skin overlay, and is packaged in its original box. New from the maker, this piece is both functional and collectible.
This piece is masterfully engraved in classic American floral scroll by renowned engraver Jim Downing, showcasing his signature style of deep relief and intricate detail. Downing’s craftsmanship brings the metal to life with flowing scrollwork and precise shading, highlighting a level of artistry that elevates the firearm into a true collector’s piece. His work blends traditional American engraving motifs with a refined execution, making each piece not only a functional tool but a one-of-a-kind work of art. The meticulous attention to line, depth, and symmetry reflects decades of engraving mastery and a deep appreciation for American gunsmithing heritage.
