This lot offers you a Colt Model 1908 Pocket Hammerless .25 Auto pistol. The Colt Model 1908 Pocket Hammerless is a variant of the Model 1903 introduced five years later in .380 ACP caliber. Despite the title "hammerless", the 1908 does have a hammer. The hammer is covered and hidden from view under the rear of the slide. This allows the pistol to be carried in and withdrawn from a pocket quickly and smoothly without snagging. This pistol has a blue'd frame and slide and features a bucking Colt logo at the rear of the slide. The trigger and safety back strap show a brilliant case colored finish. The hard wood walnut grips also feature the colt logo on each grip panel as well as factory checkering. The slide is marked on the left " Colt's PT. F.A. MFG.
