In 98% original very sharp condition, we have a very rare (only 3,115 so marked) 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 in May,1945 to Springfield Armory. This is an M marked pistol which indicates that it was sent back to the factory for the extractor and magazine modification to improve reliability. Because of the extremely low numbers produced I cannot think of a more collectible WW2 Colt.
