Manufactured in 1907, this is an attractive example of a Colt Model 1902 Sporting pistol. It has the standard two-line, two-block patent dates and address and the circled Rampant Colt on the left of the slide and the standard "AUTOMATIC COLT/CALIBRE 38 RIMLESS SMOKELESS" marking on the right. The slide is fitted with a blade front and rounded top notch rear sight as well as the later production rear slide serrations which were introduced in April of 1905. It also has a checkered rounded hammer and a smooth trigger. The hard rubber grips have the "COLT" banners at the top and circled Rampant Colts at the center. The replacement full blue magazine is marked "CAL. 38/COLT" on the baseplate.

Very fine, retains 75% plus of the original, high polish blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina, most noticeably on the front grip strap and edges, some spotting on the front right of the slide, and some scattered light handling marks. The grips are very fine with a few scattered light handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
