Description:
HISTORIC, EARLY WESTERN SHIPPED 1903 POCKET HAMMER AUTO PISTOL, .38ACP, #20XXX, SHIPPED SEPTEMBER 17, 1906 TO BROWNING BROTHERS, ODGED, UTAH. John Browning designed these early slab-sided auto pistols and a number of them were shipped to him to fsell out of their family store. There's a good chance John Browning hinself handlid this one! Really fine condition inisde and out. Retains nearly all the blue with some edge wear and dulling from age mainly on the forward portion of the left side of the slide. Top of the slide shows excellent bright blue as does most of the right side and the rear 2/3 of the left side. Even the grip straps show good very lightly thinning blue. Exc. correct markings including the early 1897 patent date. Exc. Colt embossed hard rubber grips and correct original magazine that is unmarked on the bottom- the earliest production are marked with the 1884 patent date and then magazines were unmarked until 1916 when they were again marked. This early pistol also has the correct round "stub" hammer. Unaltered sights, mechanically tight and bright exc. bore, strong safety half-cock. This exact serial number and shipping destination is listed in Goddard's book THE GOVERNMENT MODELS, a copy of which goes with this auto pistol. A great find!
