Rare, Excellent Colt Model 1908 - US Property

Description

8/12/25 - This is a very rare US PROPERTY marked Colt 1908 Pocket Hammerless pistol in .380 caliber. There were only about 3,000 of this variation produced, with blued finish and US PROPERTY marking. The gun was manufactured and issued in 1944, most likely to an officer. We looked through the records, and the officer it was issued to is not recorded. These pistols were primarily issued to personnel of the Bureau of Naval Intelligence and to General Officers of the US Army, but some were sent to the OSS as well as special duty personnel who required a concealable sidearm. This pistol is US Property marked and ordnance wheel stamped (back left side of frame) and is all correct and original. The original bluing rates about 97-98%. While there is very little actual finish loss, there are some areas of very light freckling here and there. Fitted with excellent checkered wood grips and comes with one proper magazine. Like-new bore.
