...this is a kind of long story, but this pistol was found laying on ground on my fairly recently purchased ranch in Val Verde County, Tx. I am fairly sure it is or rather was a Colt Pocket pistol but due to corrosion it has no name or anything else on it except the serial number (?) on butt of grip. It is in really bad shape but is still way cool to me because of the history. Could be a later copy of above, I have no idea and don't know enough about early pistols to know what to look for. Great story anyway, and I've now named ranch "The Lost Pistol". If someone can post pics for me, PM or email me at sixtlghorn@aol.com and I will forward the pics my daughter made with her cell and sent to me. Thanks. CAT
