This is a beautiful, all original and unissued example of a late WWII issue "US Property" marked 1903 hammerless pistol. These pistols were issued to many General Officers and OSS service members during and after WWII. This pistol was manufactured at the very end of the US Army contract in late 1944 or early 1945. It has the standard two line address and patent dates on the left side of the slide, with the Rampant Colt behind the serrations, with the right side marked; "COLT AUTOMATIC/CALIBRE 32 RIMLESS SMOKELESS". The left side of the frame is marked with the serial number and the right side is marked with only "US PROPERTY". The left front of the trigger guard bow is marked with the Colt triangle "VP" proof below and the right side is marked with a "44". It has the standard fixed sights, all parkerized finish, with the barrel still in the white. It is complete with one original all blued 8 round magazine marked "CAL.32/COLT" on the floor plate.

Near new with 99% plus of the original Colt wartime parkerized finish overall with only the smallest hint of edge wear on the front edge of the slide. The markings are clear and sharp. The grips are also in excellent condition with sharp checkering on both sides, with no handling marks. An exceptional example of a WWII U.S. Colt Model1903 pistol.
