Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is proud to present a once-in-a-generation offering direct from the legendary Kimber Vault—an extraordinary collection of firearms that have never before been released to the public. These remarkable pieces include Serial Number One examples, rare prototypes, and factory display & salesman samples, ALL of which were retained internally for decades by Kimber's Founder, Owner, & CEO, Leslie Edelman.
Until now, these firearms have remained unseen outside of the company’s inner circle, making this a truly unprecedented opportunity for collectors. Each firearm will be accompanied by an official Kimber Factory Certificate of Authenticity, further solidifying its provenance and historical significance.
As the exclusive outlet entrusted with their release, Bryant Ridge Co. offers collectors a unique chance to acquire historically significant Kimber firearms with unmatched provenance and desirability.
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this semi-automatic pistol today for a penny-start auction; this is the Kimber Anniversary Match Set Custom with Serial Number #KMSC154!
This Kimber Factory Letter documents an Anniversary Match Set Custom pistol, bearing the serial number KMSC154. This model is chambered in .45 ACP and features a 5-inch barrel, a blued finish, and wood grips adorned with Kimber 25th Emblems. According to the Remarks section, this specific firearm was part of a special edition that was withheld from general distribution. Instead, it was preserved within the private archive and personal holdings of Leslie Edelman, the founder and owner of Kimber. The letter, signed by Edelman and dated February 6, 2026, confirms the pistol's release from the Kimber Vault for delivery to Bryant Ridge Co. in Liberty, Kentucky.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Kimber 25th Anniversary Match Set Custom represents a flagship commemorative release celebrating a major milestone in Kimber’s history, produced in an exceptionally limited run of just 250 sets, with this example individually numbered. Built on Kimber’s high-end Custom platform, these pistols typically feature match-grade barrels, finely tuned triggers, and elevated cosmetic appointments such as engraving, special finishes, and premium materials. As a matched set, they were designed not only for performance, but as presentation-grade collectibles that showcase Kimber’s craftsmanship at its highest level. What distinguishes this offering is its configuration as a factory-issued dual pistol set, a format rarely produced and far more desirable than single commemorative examples. Anniversary match sets were not part of Kimber’s standard production and were instead created in tightly controlled quantities, often accompanied by a fitted presentation case and complete accessories. The “1 of 250” designation underscores the exclusivity of the set, placing it among the more limited modern Kimber releases. From a collector’s standpoint, complete anniversary sets represent the upper tier of Kimber collectibility. The combination of limited production, matched configuration, and commemorative significance creates a package that is both visually impressive and historically meaningful. When retained in high condition with original packaging and documentation, examples such as this are increasingly difficult to source, making the Kimber 25th Anniversary Match Set Custom a standout and highly desirable addition to any advanced 1911 collection.
