    Colt Model 1908 Pocket Hammerless – Type III – .380 Auto Pistol (1922) w/ Original Box

    Offered for auction is a Colt Model 1908 Pocket Hammerless, Type III, chambered in .380 ACP, manufactured in 1922, and accompanied by its original Colt box. Commonly referred to as the “Pocket Hammerless” due to its concealed internal hammer, this model was one of Colt’s most popular and enduring early 20th-century semi-automatic pistols.

    The Type III variant features design refinements over earlier models and represents mature production of this classic John M. Browning–designed pistol. Compact, reliable, and elegant in design, the 1908 .380 was favored by civilians, law enforcement, and military officers alike.

    Features include:

    • Colt Model 1908 Pocket Hammerless, Type III
    • Chambered in .380 Auto (ACP)
    • Manufactured in 1922
    • Internal (concealed) hammer design
    • Manual safety and grip safety
    • Factory-style sights
    • Factory grips
    • Includes original Colt box

    Condition:
    Condition appears very good for its age, with finish and markings consistent with careful ownership. Please review all photos closely to assess metal finish, bore condition, grips, and the condition of the original box. Firearm is sold as-is, with no guarantee of mechanical function.

    Additional Information:
