The Colt 1903 Pocket Hammer is a semi-automatic pistol designed by John Browning and produced by Colt’s Manufacturing Company. It was introduced in 1903 and was part of a series of pistols designed for concealed carry and personal defense

1. Design: The 1903 Pocket Hammer has a distinctive design with a “hammer” style, meaning it features an exposed hammer that can be cocked manually. This is different from the later model, the Colt 1903 Pocket Model, which has a “hammerless” design.

3. Capacity: It typically has a magazine capacity of 8 rounds.
4. Operation: The Colt 1903 operates using a blowback action, which was a common mechanism for many semi-automatic pistols of that era.
5. Finish: The pistol usually features a blued steel finish, although some models might have nickel-plated finishes.
6. Collectibility: As with many historical firearms, the Colt 1903 Pocket Hammer is considered a collector’s item today. Its historical significance and classic design make it of interest to firearms enthusiasts and collectors.
