A superb example of Colt’s iconic 1903 Pocket Hammerless, this .32 ACP pistol isn’t just a beautiful collector’s piece—it’s also historically significant. This particular specimen bears the rare “Diamond A” Belgian contract proof, a mark seen on only a small portion of exported Colts, making it especially desirable among international military collectors. Its excellent condition, mirror-bright bore, and correct “dipped” magazine show it’s been exceptionally well-preserved. Sleek, reliable, and ahead of its time, this Colt was favored by generals, agents, and dignitaries alike. A fine centerpiece for any early 20th-century collection.
