From your description it appears to be the Model 1903 Pocket Hammer, similar to this photo off the net. They weren't very popular as far as the various different Colt models were concerned. Your Mom's was probably made in the 20's. Need photos for positive identification and valuation.

Do you understand that .38 Auto and .38 Super are NOT the same thing? If you have a .38 Auto, VERY bad ju-ju to feed it .38 Super.
