Description
This Turnbull Colt Rimless Smokeless .38 Auto reflects an important early chapter in Colt semi-automatic pistol design. Chambered in .38 Auto, it represents the shift from earlier black powder-era firearms to smokeless cartridge development, with the clean mechanical character that defined Colt’s early self-loading pistols.
The pistol has been restored by Turnbull Restoration, with metalwork finished in a deep, period-correct charcoal blue. The slide and frame retain the crisp lines and contours that distinguish these early Colt automatics, giving the piece a refined and cohesive presentation.
It is fitted with smooth, ivory-style grip panels that contrast warmly with the dark steel. The overall look is completed by a period-style labeled box marked “Colt Automatic Pistol .38 Rimless Smokeless,” along with additional grips and documentation.
For collectors drawn to early semi-automatic development, Colt history, and Turnbull-restored firearms, this .38 Auto offers a compelling combination of historical design and careful restoration.
