The Model 1908 Pocket Hammerless is a .380 ACP caliber variant of the Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless, designed by John Moses Browning. The compact, semi-auto pistol is nearly identical to its predecessor except for the bore diameter and the magazine, which holds seven rounds.
After precise, period-correct metal polishing, this legendary sidearm was exquisitely adorned by our in-house engraver Tom McArdle. Proper charcoal blue metal finishes and finely-checkered medallion grips are additional standouts of this special restoration.
This example was originally shipped in 1935 and restored by Turnbull Restoration in 2021.

1916 Colt Commercial 1911
I sent my 1916 manufactured Colt Commercial 1911 for restoration and am blown away by how amazing it looks. Money well spent on what is to become a true family heirloom and will definitely get a lot of attention in the display case. Thank you Turnbull!
Union Switch & Signal
I have had my Dad’s Union Switch & Signal 1911 A-1 for many years. It had been refinished, but not to original condition. Turnbull Restoration craftsmen brought it back to its original condition when it left Swissvale Pa. in 1943. I display it to honor my Dad, and his service in WWII in the United States Marine Corp from 1943 to 1946. It’s in the family to stay!
Worth every penny!
Unbelievable work. Some of the finest craftsmanship I’ve seen in the firearm industry. Turnbull has worked on, restored, and engraved a number of revolvers, rifles and 1911s in my collection. True works of art!
