Designed and manufactured in Liege, Belgium, the Clement Model 1903 was a competitor to Browning's pocket pistols. Though the firm went out of business as a result of World War I, the 1903's descendants found new life as Smith & Wesson's 35 Automatic Pistol. In a deviation from Clement's regular production, this model has the barrel being a separate piece from the top strap of the frame, being threaded to the top strap and retained by a small screw. While no documentation was provided with this pistol, this could very well be either a very early production variant or a prototype. Blade and notch sights with the one-line Liege address on the left side of the upper receiver, a push-through safety/bolt lock on the frame, matching numbers on the frame and bolt, and checkered "CC" monogram grips.

Fair, showing areas of mild pitting under period refurbished blue, bright edge wear and scattered handling marks. The grips are undersized replacements, likely from a later production Clement. The magazine is absent. Mechanically fair.
