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 Stainless II (Silent Warriors) with Serial Number #TF373000!
This Kimber Factory Letter documents a Stainless II (Silent Warriors) pistol, identified by the serial number TF373000. This specific firearm is chambered in .45 ACP and is configured with a 5-inch barrel, a stainless finish, and stainless grips. According to the remarks, this firearm represents Serial Number One of a special edition series, a designation reserved for the inaugural example of that limited production run. The letter further notes that Serial Number One firearms were historically retained within the personal collection of Leslie Edelman, founder and owner of Kimber, and not released to the public. This exceptional example is further furnished with its original presentation case. The document, signed by Edelman, states that the pistol was released from the Kimber Vault on February 6, 2026, and delivered 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 Stainless II (Silent Warriors) is a highly specialized and seldom-seen variant built on Kimber’s proven Stainless II platform, distinguished by its evocative “Silent Warriors” designation. Featuring a full-size Government-pattern configuration with stainless steel construction, this model delivers the durability, reliability, and performance expected from Kimber’s 1911 lineup. The addition of the “Silent Warriors” marking elevates this example beyond standard production, introducing a thematic identity that suggests a connection to covert operations, specialized units, or a purpose-driven commemorative concept. What sets this example apart is the ambiguity and rarity surrounding its designation. Unlike clearly documented military unit-marked variants, “Silent Warriors” does not correspond to a standard Kimber catalog model or widely recognized issue, indicating it was likely produced in extremely limited quantities for a specific group, internal project, or themed release. Firearms with this type of unified and intentional marking are rarely encountered and often lack publicly available production data, making them difficult to categorize and compare. From a collector’s standpoint, the Stainless II (Silent Warriors) represents a compelling and niche offering within the Kimber lineup. Firearms that fall outside well-documented production patterns yet carry strong thematic identity are often among the most intriguing to advanced collectors. With few comparable examples observed and little information available, this pistol stands as a scarce and distinctive piece, appealing to those seeking unique, story-driven Kimber variants with both visual presence and potential historical significance.
