Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this semi-automatic pistol today for a penny-start auction, this is the Colt / American Historical Foundation Government Model 1991A1 "Home State/Fifty States -New Mexico- Tribute.
Millions of Americans take great pride in the history, culture, and unique spirit of their home states, and New Mexico holds a legendary place in the story of the American frontier and the expansion of our nation. To permanently honor this enduring regional legacy, the American Historical Foundation proudly commissioned the Home State / Fifty States Tribute Series, ensuring that each state tribute was strictly limited to a total production of only 100 pistols. This highly specialized, heirloom-quality initiative dedicated an ultra-limited masterpiece to celebrate the localized heritage of each state. Crafted as a museum-quality showpiece utilizing the modern, reliable platform of the Colt Government Model 1991A1 .45 ACP, this pistol is meticulously engraved and gold-inlaid with intricate 24-karat gold-plated artwork and scrollwork honoring New Mexico's statehood, complete with custom select grips inset with a special commemorative state medallion. To complete its status as a premier collector's treasure, this firearm comes accompanied by a custom wooden presentation case lined with vibrant red velvet and its official Certificate of Authenticity.
This particular example is an extraordinary find bearing number NM003, making it number 3 out of the 100 produced for the entire New Mexico tribute and an elite single-digit production piece that stands as an irreplaceable family heirloom to be passed down for generations.
