SOLD HISTORIC COLT MODEL 1908 .380 AUTO, FACTORY NICKEL FINISH, “THE QUINTESSENTIAL GANGSTER PISTOL” SOLD BY “THE GANGSTER’S GUN DEALER”, WOLF & KLAR OF FT WORTH TX! END OF SUMMER SALE!

In 97% original condition, we have what I would consider to be the quintessential gangster/public enemy pistol of the 1920’s and early 30’s.  This is a Colt Factory nickel finished 1908 .380 pocket hammerless with mother of pearl grips.

This Pistol was a sold in 1926 by the storied Texas gun dealer Wolf & Klar of Ft Worth, TX.  While many people purchased guns from this establishment including the Texas Rangers, Wolf & Klar became famous for being the gun dealer of choice to the likes of John Dillinger, Machine Gun Kelly, Baby Face Nelson and even Bonnie & Clyde.  among the other “hardware” that they purchased they all apparently found these nickeled Colt 1908 pistols Irresistible as they all purchased this very model of pistol from Wolf & Klar.  I guess the slim bright shiny little pistol had a lot of appeal to these gangsters, bank robbers and desperados because it was a very popular item.  John Dillinger had his pistol  in his pocket when he was killed in Chicago and the examples owned by the others are very well documented as any search of the web would reveal.  So now you have a wonderful opportunity to own a fine example of the very pistol carried by all of these notorious criminals originally sold from the exact place they bought theirs from.
This is a must have pistol from the golden age of gangsters and bank robbers.
