A total of only 1,000 units of each model were ever produced, making these firearms exceedingly rare, with an even smaller number of Deluxe Sets meticulously crafted, further adding to their exclusivity and desirability. This extraordinary collection features the highly sought-after, beautifully engraved Second Edition Colt MKIV .380 pistol, which was manufactured in a very limited run between 1983 and 1984, making it a unique and rare example of fine craftsmanship from that era. Both the Colt First and Second Edition MKIV .380 Pistols are nothing short of exceptional; they are true masterpieces that showcase the pinnacle of firearm artistry. The First Edition MKIV .380 stands out with its intricate, hand-engraved designs, which are not only finely detailed but also elegantly enhanced with inlays of gold. The gold inlays add a striking contrast to the gun's finish, highlighting the deep, ornate engravings and giving the pistol an air of opulence and sophistication that is highly prized among collectors.

The Second Edition MKIV .380, while similarly adorned with intricate engravings, features silver inlays instead of gold, lending it a more refined and elegant aesthetic. The fine silver inlays highlight the meticulous craftsmanship, creating a sharp contrast against the dark steel of the pistol and accentuating the detailed artistry etched into the metal. Both editions are a testament to Colt’s unmatched precision and attention to detail, making them not just firearms but collectible works of art that demonstrate the finest traditions of gun-making craftsmanship. Each pistol reflects the timeless skill of Colt artisans, combining functionality with a stunning visual appeal that elevates them beyond mere tools to prized heirlooms.
