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 Super America Pistol with Serial Number #KSA001!
This Kimber Factory Letter documents a Kimber Super America Pistol, identified by the prestigious serial number KSA001. This high-end firearm is chambered in .45 ACP and features a 5-inch barrel, a blued finish accented with golden bordering, and Mammoth Ivory grips. The document emphasizes the gun's historical significance as the first serialized unit in its production line, marking the official beginning of the model's manufacturing history. Like many other "Serial Number One" examples, this pistol was originally part of the personal collection belonging to Leslie Edelman, the founder and owner of Kimber.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Kimber Super America Pistol represents the pinnacle of Kimber’s craftsmanship, standing as one of the most refined and luxurious offerings ever produced by the company. Built as a high-grade, custom-level 1911, the Super America is distinguished by its exceptional attention to detail, often featuring hand-applied engraving, gold accents, and premium materials such as exotic grips. These pistols were never intended to be standard production firearms, but rather showcase pieces designed to highlight Kimber’s capabilities at the highest level of fit, finish, and artistic execution. What sets the Super America apart is not just its visual presentation, but the level of handwork involved in its creation. Each example reflects careful assembly and finishing, resulting in a pistol that blends performance with presentation-grade aesthetics. The use of high-end materials—such as mammoth ivory grips and intricate decorative elements—places it firmly within the realm of collector-grade firearms. These pistols were produced in extremely limited numbers, often in special configurations or as unique examples, making them far less common than Kimber’s already respected Custom Shop offerings. From a collector’s standpoint, the Super America occupies an elite position within the Kimber lineup. When combined with documented provenance—such as Kimber Vault release or prototype status—examples like this move into an even more exclusive category, appealing to advanced collectors seeking rarity, craftsmanship, and historical significance. It represents not only a high-end firearm, but a statement piece that embodies Kimber’s highest level of design and execution.
