  1913, Proofhouse has it listed as "Colt Model 1908, Hammerless .380."
  
  If it can be established that the finish is factory original. And it's in VG to Excellent original condition. It's collectors value, would be substantial.

  My Blue Book Pocket Guide, Colts Dates of Manufacture seems to indicate this is a 1908 Pocket (Hammerless .380) manufactured in 1939 (that years numbers being 129000-131999). This presumes you were indicating a six digit serial number in your post.

  Sam Lisker's site is one of the best for information on Colt autos.
  
  If this is the Model 1903/08 "Hammerless", his site is indicating it was produced in 1938.
