In 96% very sharp condition we have a very scarce Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless with a Japanese provenance; per the Colt Letter it was shipped on Jan 3, 1939 to the Kawaguchi Firearms Co LTD of Tokyo Japan for completion of an order to the Yokohama Specie Bank LTD. This was almost certainly a US WWII vet brought back war trophy. It may have stayed with the bank during the war or it may have seen action with the army; perhaps carried by a bank employee who got pressed into being an officer.
Absolutely a very desirable piece for the Colt and Japanese Collector.
