In 97% mint crisp condition, we have a Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless .32 auto Pistol that was shipped exactly one week after Pearl Harbor to Capt J.

This is a top example of a Wartime used Colt Pocket Automatic pistol, and while many went to the OSS and the SOE, this one served on the home front in a critical defensive role. This is a great pistol for the wartime Colt Collector.
