Collectors have only a few days left to secure some of the rarest firearms to ever cross the block. The October edition of Collector’s Elite Auctions ends Sunday evening, October 20, marking the final opportunity to place bids on commemorative Colts, experimental Smith & Wessons, engraved Belgian masterpieces, and more. With penny-start bidding and intense competition, now is the time to act.
Colt Double Diamond Set – Officer’s ACP and Python
Colt’s 150th anniversary Double Diamond Set remains one of the most coveted matched pairs in modern firearms collecting. Set number 48 of just 1,000 manufactured in 1986, it includes an Officer’s ACP compact 1911 and a 6-inch Python, both finished in Colt’s rare Bright Stainless polish and fitted with smooth rosewood grips bearing silver medallions. Still in New Old Stock condition and displayed in its original cherry case, this set celebrates the heritage of both the 1911 and the legendary Python revolver.
Smith & Wesson Model 53 “The Jet”
Built in 1966, this .22 Remington Jet revolver showcases Smith & Wesson’s adventurous engineering of the 1960s. Complete with original box, six auxiliary inserts, an extra .22 LR cylinder, and reloading dies, this Model 53 offers unmatched versatility. Its deep factory blue finish and oversized target grips make it one of the standout examples of experimental American design.
FN Browning B25 B2, Signed by F. Marechal
Hand-engraved by FN master F. Marechal, this 1978 Browning B25 B2 over-under shotgun represents the pinnacle of Belgian craftsmanship. Its 30-inch barrels, coin-finished action, and full-coverage scrollwork capture the artistry and balance of Browning’s finest era. In near-mint condition, this signed example belongs as much in a gallery as in the field.
Remington 700 Classic in .220 Swift
The 1992 Remington 700 Classic chambered in .220 Swift remains a collector favorite for its speed, precision, and scarcity. Unfired and complete with its original box, it combines pre-war styling with modern performance. The .220 Swift’s legacy as one of the fastest centerfire cartridges ever made ensures this rifle’s enduring desirability.
Colt M1911 100th Anniversary Custom Shop Tier I, Grade D
Marking a century of the 1911, Colt’s Custom Shop released just 100 of these engraved “Grade D” Royal Blue pistols in 2011. Featuring genuine ivory grips with gold medallions, inlaid gold serial number ANV022, and its presentation case, this example stands as both a tribute to John Browning’s genius and a testament to Colt’s enduring artistry.
