Colt Pocket M1903

Hi,

Some months ago I got this Colt Pocket 1903, serial number 449614, chambered for .32ACP. They are not rare (more than 570,000 made between 1903 and 1946) but I simply love them. I think it is because my father used to carry one back in the 70s when he had to work at night. And it was one of the first guns of my collection, when he gave it to me.

However this one caught my attention because it is simply MINT. According to information provided by a fellow collector on another board this baby was made in 1923, but I think that it was rarely shot. Its finish, with exception of a few scratches (and a small crack in the grip) is so well done that was even difficult to take pictures without see my reflection in the slide. A typical exemple of the early 20th Century Colt's craftmanship.
