Description:
CLASSIC 1903 POCKET HAMMER AUTO PISTOL, .38 ACP, #28XXX, MADE 1911. This whole .38 ACP series (Model 1900, 1902 Sporting and Military and 1903 Pocket Hammer) has that great early Colt auto appearance that all changed with the later more modern looking hammerless pocket models and the Model 1911. Never made in the quantity of the later models, these John Browqning designed .38 ACP slab sided autos are truly the grandfathers of modern auto pistols. The Pocket Hammer, which was still a fairly good sized auto by today's standards, was made without a safety, aside from the half cock on the hammer (people were more responsible in those days and didn't blame gun manufacturers for their stupidity when an unintended discharge happened!). This example shows fine high polish blue on the frame with good thinning blue on the slide sides and grip straps. Fine deep blue on the slide top. Exc. markings and exc. grips. The magazine bottom is marked "CAL 38" over " COLT" and the right side of the slide is marked "AUTOMATIC COLT" over "CALIBRE 38 RIMLESS SMOKELESS." The left side of the slide has the Colt address and last patent date of 1902. Still retains some good case color on the hammer and fire blue on the trigger. Exc. mechanically and exc. bore. The .38 ACP is exactly the same case as the more modern .38 Super, just loaded to lower pressure. Firing a .38 Super in a .38 ACP will no doubt cause damage! Only 26,000 of these were made between 1903-1929. Great looking 112 year old Colt automatic!
