Circa 1925 Colt 25ACP semi auto

How would I find out exact year of manufacture and estimated value. This is all the info I have right now, when I get more I'll post again if needed. I was wondering if there is a website or anything with Colt history. Thank you, Terry

Welcome to TFL T22. I'll move this over to Harley Nolden's research forum. Look for it there....

That .25 pistol is called the 1908 model. It was made from that year until production stopped in 1941. Early guns had different styles of black hard rubber grips, later ones had checkered wood grips. The serial number would allow us to find the exact year of manufacture and a description of the condition is needed to help set a value.

Hint for T22: knock off the last one or two digits of the serial number, i.e. SN123xx.

Um, I mean, when you post it here, not on the gun itself.
