Walked into the local pawnshop looking over the guns in the case and rack. Guy walks up and asks what I was interested in. I said "I'll know it when I see it."

He said to stay right there, that they had just bought something I'd want to see. He comes back holding this little Colt semi and said it would be a couple of weeks before everything clears and they put it out for sale.

Absolutely no interest in a .25 but seeing the serial number "1" I was a little interested.

What do y'all think? Worth pursuing or pass. He couldn't even tell me what the owner was going to try selling it for yet...

It's got......Character....

As you can see, that ain't serial number 1

Yeah, that link makes it obvious pretty damn quick. Thanks for saving me the humiliation of owning a .25 auto...

Now wait one minute.....





(serial number should be on the bottom of the slide as well)

I have one of the original FN in Nickel made in 1922
