    This one was made in 1923 or 1924, got it for $350 + tax. I've got another Colt 1903 pocket hammerless that was made in 1944, it was sent to Great Britain as a lend-lease pistol and has British proofs.

    I've only been able to put 7 loose rounds I had through it so far. It's a pretty good shooter. I wish 32 ACP was cheaper and more plentiful.

    Here it is with my US Property marked 1903. The British proofs can be seen under the US Property mark on the parkerized 1903:

    Of course, it's not truly hammerless.

    Beautiful, I've got a .380 and I'm always on the lookout for a .32. Or any other colt auto for that matter, haha. Nice find , 350 seems like a great price in that condition.

    Great pistols, one of the most elegant designs in handgun history. Reloading 32 ACP isn't bad, with cast bullets it can be shot pretty cheap. Cases can be hard to find though after shooting as they're pretty small. Condition on the pistol looks good for $350!:)
