Made in 1900, this revolver was sent to Springfield Armory on October 29, 1902, as part of a 150 gun order. Also known as the "Philippine" Model, the 1902 Alaskan was the military contract version of the Model 1878 Frontier revolver, with the addition of a lanyard ring to the butt, and the mounting of an extra large triggerguard and niter blue trigger, to accommodate the use of heavy gloves. Blade front sight on barrel with one line block letter Colt address on top, "45 COLT." on the left, "K" on the underside, and "20839" scratched into the underside of the ejector rod housing. The cylinder is numbered "7085", and is marked with a "P" proof and Rinaldo Carr's initials (R.A.C), and the frame is marked "U.S." on the right side under the cylinder, "1902" ahead of the grips, and "J.T.T." over the grips, and "R.A.C" on the left side over the grips, and a circled Rampant Colt under the lockplate. The left side of the triggerguard is marked "R.A.C", the butt is equipped with a lanyard ring, and the grips are checkered hard rubber with Rampant Colt logos at the top and triangle patterns at the bottom. With a Colt factory letter verifying the configuration and the shipping data.

Excellent (with exception noted below), retaining approximately 90% finish with scattered light wear overall, primarily on gripstraps and relief edges. There are a few very minor dings on the frontsight. Grips excellent, as is action.
