Description
Let’s be honest—there are pistols, and then there are pistols. The Colt Mustang Ceramic, serial HER 057, is the kind you don’t just stash in a safe. It’s a statement piece, a story, and a slice of Colt artistry all rolled into one sleek little package.
Chambered in .380 ACP, this special edition Mustang features a compact 2 ¾-inch barrel and a polished nickel finish that practically glows under the light. The grips? Smooth ivory, accented with gold Rampant Colt medallions—because subtlety isn’t the goal here; elegance is. Every detail is deliberate, from the fine American-style scrollwork and butterfly engraving on the left side to the ceramic inlay on the right—yes, ceramic—featuring a delicate floral and butterfly motif. It’s not just a firearm; it’s a canvas.
Now, about that presentation case. This isn’t your average gun box. We’re talking oak, glass-topped, and lined with dark green velvet that’s French-fitted to cradle the pistol like a piece of jewelry. It’s not just storage—it’s a showroom. And for those who love a personal touch? The left grip panel can be scrimshawed with your initials, adding that quiet flex of individuality.
This isn’t mass-produced. Crafted by the Colt Custom Gun Shop, only 100 of these pistols exist. That’s it. This one—HER 057—comes with provenance to match: documentation tracing its original shipment back to March 12, 1990, when it left Colt for Jereff Brothers in Chapin, South Carolina. That kind of paper trail? It’s gold for serious collectors.
The Colt Mustang Ceramic isn’t just beautiful—it’s historically grounded, painstakingly designed, and deeply rare. Whether you’re a seasoned Colt collector or just someone who appreciates a firearm that blurs the line between tool and treasure, this pistol checks every box. It’s compact, it’s ornate, and it tells a story—one that starts in the hands of Colt’s finest craftspeople and continues with you.
