Colt Pocket Hammerless Model 1903 & 1908 Questions

[j-easy]

I just discovered the Colt Pocket Hammerless and I really want to learn more about them and buy one. What can I expect to pay for one these days? I saw 4 or 5 of the 1903's (.32 ACP) at the last gun show but was looking for the 1908 (.380 ACP) so didn't pay much attention to them. I'm thinking about getting whatever one I can find now, are the both about the same price or does one command a premium? are there any enthusiasts websites or forums for these guns where I could find out some more information? any information is good as I am very new with these guns.

thanks

What you will typically see are ones with very little finish left and slight rust pitting for around $350. Ones in nice condition are expensive. It's also hard to find original magazines.

I got this 1903 at my gunshop for $400 a few years back.


It's not mint by any means, but not in bad shape for a 95 year old pistol, and it still shoots very well.

I see ones around here in similar condition for $500+. Well worth it, in my opinion.
