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 Custom Target II (APACHE-64) with Serial Number #AH64E000!
This Kimber Factory Letter identifies a Custom Target II (Apache-64), bearing the highly significant serial number AH64E000. Chambered in .45 ACP, this model features a 5-inch barrel, a matte black finish, and wood grips. The document highlights the firearm's historical importance as Serial Number One of a special edition series, a designation reserved for the inaugural example of a limited production run. Historically, these inaugural pieces were not released to the public but were instead retained within the private collection of Kimber's founder and owner, Leslie Edelman. The letter, signed by Edelman and dated February 6, 2026, confirms its release from the Kimber Vault for delivery to Bryant Ridge Co. in Liberty, Kentucky.
Although no official records exist for this specific prototype design, it can reasonably be inferred that this example was produced as a “Mock-Up” for evaluation against military specifications. In our research, we have not found any indications that this particular model was put into production whatsoever.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Kimber Custom Target II (Apache-64) is a highly specialized and visually distinctive commemorative built on Kimber’s precision-focused Target II platform, honoring the iconic AH-64 Apache attack helicopter. Designed with accuracy in mind, the Custom Target II features a match-grade barrel, adjustable rear sights, and a refined trigger system, making it well-suited for target shooting while maintaining the reliability expected from Kimber’s 1911 lineup. The addition of “Apache-64” markings and aviation-themed elements ties this example directly to one of the most recognized combat aircraft in modern military history. What sets this example apart is its unique aviation association and limited production nature. Firearms themed around specific military platforms—particularly aircraft such as the AH-64—are typically produced in small numbers and distributed through specialized or affiliated channels, rather than broad commercial release. As a result, examples such as this are seldom encountered on the open market, especially when compared to standard Kimber Target II models. The combination of a precision-oriented platform with a focused aviation tribute creates a distinctive and niche offering. From a collector’s standpoint, the Custom Target II (Apache-64) occupies a compelling position within the Kimber lineup. The blend of target-grade performance and a direct connection to a legendary military aircraft makes it appealing to both shooters and collectors, particularly those with an interest in aviation or military history. With limited known production and few comparable examples observed, this pistol stands as a scarce and intriguing piece, offering a unique opportunity for collectors seeking a modern 1911 with both precision capability and specialized thematic significance.
