From the Mauser C96 to the Luger and Browning Hi-Power, the early 20th century saw a number of pistol-carbine designs. Colt only produced one cartridge-firing pistol-carbine, their Model 1905. Even among the 1905, the pistol-carbine variation was rare, with only 440 of the 6,210 pistols cut for the stocks and only 408 actually shipped with stocks. This likely had to do with price as Colt charged $40 for the pistol with combination stock-holster and only $22 for a standard pistol. Even after dropping the price to $30, sales were slow. With "6190" hand-written on the bottom of the box, this would have been for a very late production Model 1905. The holster is intact but does show scattered wear and fraying. The box has scattered wear and tears, mostly at edges and corners. For anyone who has a 1905 that is cut for the stock, this is a rare and desirable find. It will not only make a wonderful addition to a display in your collection, but the pistols with original stocks are exempted from the NFA and can be legally assembled without paying for a tax stamp. These items also come from the personal collection of inventor, founder and President of Universal Firearms, Abe Seiderman, and may be of interest to collectors for this history.
