Hello all,

I just picked up a Colt 1908 pocket hammerless in 25 ACP and am looking for some info. The finish is in rough shape but the gun operates flawlessly, easily keeping a three inch group at 50 feet. The little thing is fitted like a swiss watch!

The serial number is in the 1125xx range. I know the gun was made before 1916 because it has no magazine safety, the grips also are the hard rubber type. Can someone give me the year of manufacture?

Thanks in advance,

artech
