Manufactured in 1916, this is a very fine example of a World War I era commercial production Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless pistol. The included factory letter confirms the caliber and finish, as well as shipment to Schoverling, Daly & Gales in New York City on 15 February 1916, in a 10 gun shipment. The left side of the slide is marked with the two-line, two-block address and patent dates, followed by the Rampant Colt behind the serrations. The right side of the slide has the two-line caliber marking. The serial number is marked on the left of the frame, with "VP" on the left of the trigger guard. It is fitted with blade and notch sights, a pair of checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colts and "COLT", and a two-tone magazine with correct marking on the baseplate. Includes a correct factory box numbered to a different gun

Very fine, retains 90% plus of the original blue finish with some slight thinning and light handling marks on the front grip strap and grip safety, and a few small spots of blue touch up on the left of the slide. The grips are excellent with only the slightest handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine with moderate wear and tape repairs.
