These three Colt Vest Pocket pistols were acquired at different
times in the course of collecting. They are all factory engraved
examples, in excellent condition and all have different factory
finishes with round top recessed medallion mother-of-pearl grips.
125221
(center) is a Master Engraved .25 with blued finish done by Gough, 125330
(right) is a Style 3 or "A" engraved .25 with nickel finish and 125565
(left) is a Style 3 or "A" engraved .25 with rare silver
finish. 125221 was shipped to Kentucky, 125330 to Ohio and 125565 to
Texas. What's interesting about the set, is that, according to
the shipping records, there are no other factory engraved .25 in between
the three serial numbers. In other words, they are three
consecutive factory engraved Vest Pocket Models.
