This is a very clean example of the Colt 1903 Pocket Hammer, a semi-automatic pistol chambered in .38 ACP, NOT 380 ACP!!


It features an early production configuration with a round hammer design. The frame and grip both have a black finish, consistent with the manufacturing style of this period. As part of Colt’s early 20th-century automatic pistol line, the 1903 Pocket Hammer was built on a solid steel frame and utilized a locked-breech action. The pistol’s compact profile and distinctive hammer contour mark it as one of Colt’s transitional semi-automatic designs preceding later refinements in the company’s automatic series.


This 1903 Pocket Hammer is used. Its black finish covers both frame and grips, presenting the unified appearance typical of early Colt automatics. The semi-automatic action operates through a recoil mechanism suited to the .38 ACP cartridge, and the round hammer distinguishes it from later spur-hammer variations. The pistol’s construction employs machined steel components with fixed sights integrated into the slide. Controls include a manual safety and magazine release positioned according to the early Colt pattern of the era.


No accessories or additional components are specified. The listing pertains solely to the pistol itself in its used condition. The configuration described—black frame, black grips, .38 ACP chambering, and round hammer—represents the defining features of this early Colt semi-automatic model.
