I recently acquired the following guns at auction for about $925 including fees, packaging and shipping:
- 1903 Colt Pocket Hammerless (Model M, Type II), .32 ACP, made in 1909.
- 1908 Colt Vest Pocket (Model N), .25 ACP, made in 1915 with factory pearl grips.
Both guns are original and in 90 to 95% condition. Absolutely gorgeous. Both appear to have been used very little, and are in tip top shape. Schedule permitting, I hope to get out in the next week or so to try them out.
First, I am curious what these guns are worth. I've got a fair idea on the 1903, but 1908 prices seem to be all over the map, perhaps because most people seem to hate 25 ACP to the point that they ignore otherwise interesting, collectable handguns such as this. Safe to say I think I did well on the transaction.
Second, the 1903 has a number hand engraved into the right side of the frame (see one of my pics below). My best guess is that this is a case number. Your thoughts?
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the eye candy ...
