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. Fitzgerald of the New York City Board of Water Supply. It is known that immediately after the Attack on Pearl Harbor Colt sent firearms to many of the Countries most important public Utilities for guard against sabotage by enemy agents. The water supply to New York would certainly qualify as one of the most important pieces of Infrastructure on the East Coast. A rush Colt letter is coming for this pistol.
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.
