*COLT MODEL 1902 COMMERCIAL MILITARY MODEL SEMI-AUTO PISTOL.

*COLT MODEL 1902 COMMERCIAL MILITARY MODEL SEMI-AUTO PISTOL. SN 34298. Cal. 38 ACP. Blue finish with 6″ bbl, standard orig fixed sights with color case hardened spur-type hammer. Pistol has a slide lock with lanyard swivel in the left heel and is mounted with rampant Colt, Colt embossed hard rubber grips. Accompanied by an orig, unmarked, all blue magazine. The Model 1902 Military pistol was an important evolutionary step in the development of Colt’s semi-automatic pistol line. It became one of Colt’s best selling pistols with a production run of over 27 years. It was very popular, especially with target shooters, because of its consistent side ejection and smoothness of operation and continued in use with target shooters well into the 1950’s. There were only about 18,000 of these fine pistols produced in the period 1902-1929. Given their early production and long period of use, they are rarely ever found completely orig or with strong orig finish. PROVENANCE: Dr. Joseph A. Murphy Collection. CONDITION: Extraordinarily fine. May have been fired but if so very little. Overall retains about 98% strong glossy orig blue with only faint muzzle end wear and some minor flaking around the left grip and light wear from the lanyard loop. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore. Magazine shows light wear. 4-36514 JR149 (6,000-9,000)
