Excellent Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket Semi-Automatic Pistol with Box

Manufactured in 1921. Features non-snag subdued fixed blade front and notch rear sights in a slide groove, two-line Colt address and patent dates roll-marked on the left side of the slide with Rampant Colt behind the serrations, the caliber designation on the right of the slide, the serial number on the left of the frame, along with a case colored trigger, thumb safety, and grip safety. The left of the trigger guard is marked with "3" over "triangle/VP", with "61" on the right side of the trigger guard and a matching serial number visible on the underside of the slide. Fitted with a pair of Colt logo Hard rubber grips with stylized "C" behind Rampant Colt, along with a correct two-tone blued magazine marked "CAL.25/COLT" on the base. Includes an un-numbered Colt maroon box with absent end label. Provenance: The Collection of Ken Gibilisco

ConditionExcellent, retaining 90% plus original blue finish and 97% plus original case colors with a few limited spots of freckling and specs of spotting visible mostly on the slide, some minor handling marks, and clear roll-marks. The grips are very fine with some minor compression wear and handling marks in the otherwise defined logos and checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is very good with frayed edges.
