Description

In 98%++ original mint crisp condition, we have a very rare (ONLY 3,115 ARE MILITARY ISSUED!) US PROPERTY marked Colt 1908 Pocket Hammerless Pistol in .380 caliber, with an original Colt factory re-numbered matching number box with, manual, & 2 very rare “M” marked spare mags. The pistol is “M” marked indicated it was returned to the Colt Factory for adjustment to work better with the .380 cartridge and all 3 mags are also “M” marked as well. 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 Naval Intelligence as it came from a naval officer.  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 single one we can get our hands on. 

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. This particular pistol’s serial number is bracketed by pistols that went to General’s Mark Clark and James Gavin.
