SOLD US WW2 COLT M1908 GENERAL OFFICERS PISTOL……SHIPPED NOV 3, 1944…..VERY RARE!

In 95% original condition, we have a very rare (only 3,115 so marked) US PROPERTY marked Colt 1908 Pocket Hammerless pistol in .380 caliber.  This pistol is US Property marked and ordnance wheel stamped and is 100% correct and original.  This is not a later production “M” marked pistol and it was probably issued during the war to an unknown General officer.   The issue records are not complete but this pistol was sent to Springfield Armory on November 3, 1944….. early enough and it does have some carry wear so it was certainly issued.  These pistols were primarily issued to personal of the Bureau of Naval Intelligence and to General Officers of the US Army, but some were sent to the OSS as well as special duty personnel who required a concealable sidearm.   As there were only ever approximately 3,000 of these they are much rare than the US Property marked 1903 Colts.  We buy every one we can get our hands on.  This one comes with a Colt factory letter (on the way).
