Have not seen any threads about these wonderful Colts lately!
They really are works of art, and are very important steps in the process of the development of the eventual 1911.
I was lucky enought to acquire a Colt 1903 (.32) that had been chemically stripped a while back. I sent it for refinish about a year ago.
Last month, I got a Colt 1908 (.380) and it will need to go off so that it looks like its brother.
Colt 1903 is on top and the 1908 is the lower pistol:
An upclose look of the side markings:

A different view on a hardwood floor:

Colt 1908:
Enjoy!
