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 #KSA000!
According to the Kimber Factory Letter, this example is confirmed as a Kimber Super America Pistol, serial number KSA000, chambered in .45 ACP with a 5” barrel, finished in blued with gold bordering and fitted with mammoth ivory grips. The letter further documents that this pistol was produced as a prototype during the initial development and pre-production phase, representing one of the earliest manufactured examples used in final evaluation prior to full-scale release. Additionally, the letter confirms this pistol was released from the Kimber Vault on February 6, 2026, and delivered directly to Bryant Ridge Co., establishing a direct and unbroken line of provenance from Kimber’s historical archive.

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.
