Sold 1903 COLT US PROPERTY MARKED US WW2 ISSUE

IN 97% ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH THE STANDARD PARKERIZED FINISH WE HAVE A US PROPERTY MARKED 1903 COLT POCKET AUTOMATIC IN .32 AUTO. THIS PISTOL IS PART OF THE SHIPMENT SENT BY THE REQUEST OF THE OSS TO THE BRITISH SPECIAL OPERATIONS EXECUTIVE IN 1944. WHILE MOST OF THESE PISTOLS WERE NOT ISSUED AND CAN OFTEN BE FOUND IN THE ORIGINAL BOXES, THIS EXAMLE SHOWS SOME SLIGHT USEAGE, SO MAYBE IT WAS CARRIED BY AN AGENT ON A CLANDESITINE OPERATION. PISTOL IS ALL MATCHING WITH AN EXCELLENT BORE. THIS DOES OF COURSE HAVE THE BRITSH PROOFS THAT WERE APPLIED WHEN THE PISTOLS WERE SHIPPED BACK TO THE US IN THE 1950’S AND 60’S. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PISTOL THAT WAS ISSUED TO US GENERAL OFFICERS DURING WW2. THIS IS A REALLY NICE EXAMPLE OF AN EXTREMELY DESIRABLE WW2 PISTOL.
