Description

In 98% original very sharp condition, we have a very rare (ONLY 3,115 ARE MILITARY ISSUED!) US PROPERTY marked Colt 1908 Pocket Hammerless Pistol in .380 caliber.  This pistol is “US Property” marked and ordnance wheel stamped and is 100% correct and original.    Collectors generally agree that these guns were primarily issued General Officers and to Naval Intelligence and it is very likely that this pistol was issued to a WW2 era General.  As there were only ever approximately 3,000 of these produced, they are much rare than the US Property marked 1903 Colts.  We buy every one we can get our hands on. This comes with a Colt factory letter indicating shipment on November 3,1944 to Springfield Armory.

Because of the extremely low numbers produced of this model I cannot think of a more collectible WWII Colt.  With only 3,115 being US Government issued these are some of the rarest and most sought after pistols of the WWII era!  This is exactly what was Issued to Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, and every other WWII General during the war as their personal sidearm.  You could not have a more prestigious pistol in your night stand or collection.
