Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless .32 ACP — Early Type III, Circa 1911 — Serial #116325
Up for is a classic Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless chambered in .32 ACP / 7.65mm Browning, serial number 116325. Based on the serial number, this pistol dates to approximately 1911, placing it as an early Type IIIexample of one of Colt’s most iconic early semi-automatic pocket pistols.
The Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless is one of the finest and most elegant pistols of the early 20th century. Designed by John Browning and manufactured by Colt in Hartford, Connecticut, the Model 1903 became known for its slim profile, smooth handling, concealed hammer design, and excellent balance. These pistols were popular with civilians, law enforcement, military officers, and collectors alike.
This example features the classic Colt configuration with:

• .32 ACP chambering
• 4-inch barrel
• Grip safety
• Manual thumb safety
• Fixed sights
• Colt Hartford slide markings
• Original-style hard rubber Colt grips with rampant colt medallions
• Bright bore with strong rifling

Overall, this pistol presents very nicely for an early Colt that is over 110 years old. The bore is bright and shows strong rifling. The grips appear correct and show age-appropriate handling wear. The pistol shows normal handling marks, finish wear, and small scratches consistent with age and use.
The finish is attractive and glossy. It may be an older refinish/reblue, so please review the photos closely and judge condition for yourself. I am describing it conservatively rather than overstating originality.
This is a handsome early Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless with strong collector appeal, classic prewar Colt styling, and a very good bore. It would make an excellent addition to a Colt collection, early automatic pistol collection, or Browning-designed firearms collection.
