COLT .380

The Colt 1903 .32 and the Colt 1908 .380 automatic pistols were issued to general officers from 1944-1972. It is estimated that about 1,400 of these were issued. The finish of the pocket automatics was factory blued with standard Colt markings and U.S. Property marked on the side. There have been various rumors of cased and engraved General Officers' pistols from the factory, but none can be confirmed. While some presentation cases and pistols were engraved and cased by private firms or gunsmiths, all Generals received standard finish pistols.
