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.

This Kimber Factory Letter documents a Stainless TLE II (Hurst PD) pistol, identified by the serial number HURSTPD000.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Kimber Stainless TLE II (Hurst PD) is a premier duty-grade 1911 produced as a commemorative tactical pistol honoring the Hurst Police Department in Texas. Chambered in .45 ACP and built on Kimber’s renowned Tactical Law Enforcement platform, it features a 5-inch match barrel, all-stainless finish, three-dot night sights, and aggressive front-strap checkering engineered to meet rigorous law enforcement standards. This specific example features custom factory frame markings reading "HURST PD STAINLESS TLE II," and is elevated to the pinnacle of collector interest by its custom serial number HURSTPD000, designating it as Serial Number One of the entire agency production run. What sets this example apart is its exceptional law enforcement pedigree combined with ultimate serial number precedence. Retained directly within the private personal collection of Kimber founder Leslie Edelman, this inaugural firearm stood at the absolute origin of the Hurst PD model run and was never released through commercial dealer channels. Custom department-commemorative 1911s bearing dedicated serial prefixes are highly coveted by tactical firearms collectors, and securing an untouched Serial Number One certified directly from the Kimber Vault archive represents a museum-grade acquisition opportunity.
