SOLD COLT MODEL 1908 POCKET HAMMERLESS PISTOL…..380 AUTO……..1934 PROD…….PUBLIC ENEMY ERA GANGSTER GUN…..MINT!

IN 98%  EXCELLENT SHARP CONDITION, WE HAVE A FINE EXAMPLE OF A COLT MODEL 1908 POCKET HAMMERLESS PISTOL IN .380.  THIS EXAMPLE WAS PRODUCED IN 1934 AT THE HEIGHT OF THE GANGSTER/PUBLIC ENEMY ERA  AND THE GREAT DEPRESSION.   WE GET MORE REQUESTS FOR THIS PISTOL THAN ALMOST ANY OTHER HANDGUN.  THEY ARE MUCH MORE POPULAR THAN THE MODEL 1903 .32’S AMONG COLLECTORS.  THIS WAS THE PISTOL THAT GANGSTERS SUCH AS JOHN DILLINGER  STUFFED IN THEIR COAT POCKETS AND THEY COULD BE SEEN IN MOST OF THE MOTION PICTURES OF THE 1930’S AND 40’S.  THE ROMANTIC APPEAL OF THIS PISTOL IS VERY STRONG, IT IS A VERY RECOGNIZABLE ICON OF THE THE PERIOD.
