Description:

Manufactured in 1907, this is an outstanding, totally original, example of an early production Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammer pistol. The serial number range for these pistols is somewhat odd, starting with this pistol, number 19999, and working down to 16000 before starting again at 20000 and working up. The left side of the slide is marked with the three-line Browning's patent and two-line address in two blocks with the circled Rampant Colt behind the serrations. The right of the slide has the two-line caliber marking. The left of the frame is marked with the serial number. It is fitted with blade and rounded top notch sights, a rounded checkered hammer, checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colts and Colt banners, and an unmarked full blue magazine.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retains 97% plus of the bright, original, high polish blue finish with the balance having thinned to a smooth grey patina, lightly visible on the leading edges of the slide. 85% plus of the original nitre blue and 98% vibrant case colors remain. The grips are also excellent with a few scattered light handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
