Engraved Colt Model 1908 Pistol

Rock Island Auction are auctioning off a beautiful engraved and gold in-laid .25 ACP Colt Model 1908 “Vest Pocket” pistol.

Anw109-V-F1-H

In my opinion it is absolutely beautiful.

Wikipedia has an article about John Browning’s creation.

    That would make a great birthday present for the wife, even if she is a revolver gal!
