My buddy showed me a Colt 1911 year 1903. Gun have never been touched and looks like new! I was amazed at how clean it was. I dont know much about Colts as Im new to the 1911 game. He said it was a amazing find.

A Colt m1911 made in 1903 would be an amazing find.

Condition is everything with old guns. If its in as good as condition as you say it is its worth some dough.Hauoli Makahiki Hou

Do you mean your buddy showed you a Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammer? There was no m1911 in the year 1903. Maybe in John Browning's workshop but no Colt branded 1911 pistol in the year 1903.Comment

The 1911 is a refinement of the 1905. Obviously, a 1911 could not have been made in 1903.
Nearly all John Browning designs had their "born on date'' as part of their model name.
Your buddy either thinks you are stupid, or he has less than a clue himself."A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself...A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."......CiceroComment

The hammer was exposed. It had a half cock safety and thats it. the date was 1903 for sure. The grips were super cool and said colt on them. Ill see if I cant get a pic. Now that I think of it he didnt say 1911. I just thought it was so it might not be.
The guy is a gun nut and has MANY guns. I can tell you he knows his stuff, I wish I could say the same about myself,lol Dang it I knew I should have snapped a pic.Last edited by Deadon; 01-27-2012, 5:31 PM.Lions not sheep.

sorry it's been a long day and I my mind was stuck on the pocket hammerless gun.
it's certainly possible to have a 1902/1903 design with an exposed hammer. in fact, I have one! did it look like this?

Its a model 1903 hammerless. Over half a mil were made from 03 to mid 40s and you could still find them in excellent condition.Don't take refuge in the false security of consensus.
