IN 98% VERY CRISP ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH THE STANDARD PARKERIZED FINISH WE HAVE A US PROPERTY MARKED 1903 COLT POCKET AUTOMATIC IN .32 AUTO. WHAT MAKES THIS EXAMPLE SO EXCEEDINGLY INTERESTING IS THAT IT IS FULLY DOCUMENTED WITH PAPERWORK. IT WAS SOLD OCT, 1946 FROM AUGUSTA ARSENAL TO CHIEF WARRENT OFFICER CHARLES J. PREDGO. THERE ARE ALSO BASE REGISTRATION CARDS FOR THE PISTOL FROM THE EARLY 1950’S INTO 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. THE PAPERWORK 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 INSTRUCTION SHEET AND ONE SPARE MAG
