SOLD 1903 COLT US PROPERTY MARKED WW2 ISSUE MINT IN BOX PAPERS

IN 98% VERY CRISP ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH THE STANDARD PARKERIZED FINISH WE HAVE A US PROPERTY MARKED 1903 COLT POCKET AUTOMATIC IN .32 AUTO. THIS IS A FAIRLY LATE PARKERIZED EXAMPLE. WHAT MAKES THIS EXAMPLE SO EXCEEDINGLY INTERESTING IS THAT IT IS FULLY DOCUMENTED WITH PAPERWORK. IT WAS SOLD IN 10/46 FROM AUGUSTA ARSENAL TO A CWO PREDGO. THERE ARE BASE REGISTRATION CARDS FOR THE PISTOL FROM THE EARLY 1950’S TO THE 1960’S. I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY SURPLUS SALES OF WEAPONS AT THIS EARLY DATE SO THERE WAS PROBABLY AN OFFICIAL REASON FOR THIS SALE TO GO FORWARD. THIS CERTAINLY EXPLAINS IN DETAIL WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PARTICULAR PISTOL. THIS IS A MUST HAVE PIECE FOR ANY SERIOUS MILITARY ISSUE POCKET HAMMERLESS COLLECTOR. THESE GUNS WERE ISSUED TO GENERAL OFFICERS AND TO MILITARY INTELLIGENCE AS WELL AS THE OSS. THIS IS ONE OF THE CLEANEST LOOKING EXAMPLES WE HAVE COME ACROSS. THESE US MARKED COLT POCKETS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AND AVIDLY SOUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTORS. THEY ARE ONE OF THE SPECIALTIES OF THE HOUSE AND WE ARE GLAD TO KEEP FINDING THEM FOR OUR CLIENTS. ALSO COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL COLT INSTURCTION SHEET AND ONE SPARE MAG
