I was browsing the upcoming Greg Martin Colt Factory Archive auction, and ran across several very intriguing prototypes. One wonders what Colt might have become had some ofthese made it into production.
The auction can be found here Prototype "Modified" Model M 1908 Hammerless Semi-Automatic Pocket Pistol 
Colt Experimental Hammerless Quick-Removable Cylinder Double Action Revolver 
Experimental Prototype Pocket Model 1908 Hammerless Semi-Automatic Pistol, New Series 
Colt Mk III Trooper Double Action Revolver, Specially Built for Testing by Los Angeles Police Department 
Colt Mk III Prototype J-Frame Double Action Revolver 
Colt Experimental Prototype Defender Semi-Automatic Pistol 
Colt Experimental Prototype "Colt Compact" Semi-Automatic Pistol 
Colt Experimental Prototype "Mini-45" Semi-Automatic Pistol 
Colt Experimental Prototype Mini-Combat Commander Pistol, with Various Special Features 
Kinda sad to see the prototypes go, as that removes pretty much any chance of these seeing the light of day. |
