Exceptional and Attractive Documented Individual Shipped Colt Model 1902 Military Semi-Automatic Pistol with Factory Letter

Manufactured in 1911, this Military Model of 1902 pistol exhibits the early production mirror polish blue finish as well as the spurred hammer which is consistently found on pistols over serial number 33000. The left side of the slide is marked with the two-line patent date and two-line address arranged in two blocks with the Rampant Colt behind the serrations. The right side of the slide has the two-line caliber marking, "AUTOMATIC COLT/CALIBRE 38 RIMLESS SMOKELESS". The left side of the frame has the serial number and "VP" and "W" on the left of the trigger guard. It is fitted with blade and rounded top notch sights, a lanyard swivel on the lower left of the grip frame, checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colts and "COLT" banners, and two-tone magazine marked "MIL./COLT/38 CAL." on the base plate. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration (grips not listed) as well as a manufacture date of 2 November 1911 and shipment to Chung Ku on 20 March 1912. No other information is known about this individual at this time.

ConditionExceptionally fine, retains 90% of the slightly thinning original high polish blue finish, 95% of the vibrant case colors on the hammer, and 80% of the original niter blue on small parts with some light thinning and edge wear, and a few scattered light handling marks. The grips are excellent with a light scuff at the bottom of the right panel and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
