Maybe a Colt 1903/1908....... .32/.380...... 8/7rounds....... 24oz ....... 7 inches long.....about 4.5-5inches tall/maybe an inch thick..... over 1/2 million produced 1903-45

sleek and sexy....... could have been her Grandfather's passed to Dad... to Daughter.......the 1908 was the gun issued to 'General Officers in WWII"...Patton carried one....... even shot a plane down (in the movie) with one.


What is old is new again....... it's a striker fired gun.....

Guns are interesting things........ they really don't get "old' like other stuff......... for example the Model 10 .38 made from 1957 to 199something is based on a 1899 design....... the Walther PPK is a 1934 design that's still made,used and carried by J. Bond and me ...... along with the Colt 1911 and Browning 1935....... many of us still carry and shoot these old guns........some would say the height of revolver craftmanship is the 1935-41 S&W Registered Magnum..... and the Colt 1911 and Browning HP are the best autos ever designed.
