Peter Johnson's Colt Auto

[Bruce Day]

This is the Colt .38 Auto that formerly belonged to Parker author Peter Johnson. It is engraved with his name.

Mr. Johnson wasn't much of a shopper. Was that beautiful Colt a gift?

[Destry L. Hoffard]

I believe all the guns he had towards the end were gifts.

IMHO one of the prettiest guns ever made was the Colt 1903/08. Here is my 1908. This particular pistol was used to kill an intruder of a friend of mine's father in law's back yard. So it comes with a story. It's nearly new. A 380 of course and the round was made to fit this pistol. Charlie Lindberg carried the1903 model of this little heater in his pocket during his flight across the puddle.

Old Colts are just darn pretty pistols.
