Model 1908 Pocket Hammerless .380

[Critter81]

I was just curious if anyone would be able to help me with the history on a Colt Model 1908 Pocket Hammerless .380 maybe even dare to put a ball park value on it.

The Pistol is stamped "Shanghai Municipal Police", the original leather holster and magazines are with it. The number '13' or '15' is stamped on the frame and the slide. I'd say the pistol is in VG (well over 80%) condition.

any help on where to go or who to talk to would be greatly appreciated.

IIRC International was selling these in the early 90s.

I tracked the serial number down to the pistol being built between 1925 and 1926 as one of the first 270 sent to Shanghai

Some interesting stuff if you do a www.dogpile.com search of both "The FIREARMS of the SHANGHAI MUNICIPAL POLICE" AND " SHANGHAI MUNICIPAL POLICE"
