Sold COLT 1908 POCKET AUTO BRITISH WW1 ISSUE

IN 95% CONDITION, WE HAVE A VERY DECENT EXAMPLE OF A 1915 PRODUCTION COLT 1908 POCKET AUTO THAT WAS SHIPPED BY COLT TO ENGLAND FOR OFFICER PURCHASE DURING THE EARLY DAYS OF WW1. THIS PISTOL BEARS LONDON PROOF HOUSE MARKS AND WAS MOST CERTAINLY USED IN COMBAT DURING THE FIGHTING IN THE TRENCHES. THESE PISTOLS WERE VERY POPULAR WITH PILOTS AND OFFICERS BECAUSE OF THE COMPACT SIZE AND IMPROVED STOPPING POWER OVER THE .32 AUTO. GETTING ONE OF THESE WITH A WW2 PROVENANCE IS NOT COMMON AND A REAL FIND.
