Manufactured in 1905. The pistol has checkered slide serrations at the front of the slide. The left side of the slide is marked ""BROWNING'S PATENT" / APR. 20. 1897 SEPT. 9, 1902" followed by COLT'S PATENT FIRE ARMS MFG. CO. / HARTFORD CONN. U.S.A.", and the circled Rampant Colt is marked at the rear. The right side of the slide is marked "MODEL 1902" ahead of the ejection port and "AUTOMATIC COLT / CALIBRE 38 RIMLESS SMOKELESS" and the serial number appears on the left side of the frame. Fixed low profile sights, lanyard ring on the left rear lower frame and fitted with black checkered hard rubber grips with "COLT" in a banner at the tops and the circled Rampant Colt in the center.

Good. The pistol retains approximately 30% of the original finish on the frame mixed with smooth gray patina. The slide has a smooth gray patina. There is some fine pin prick type pitting on the slide and frame. The hammer retains strong faded original case colors with some light pitting. The grips are good with moderate to heavy wear to the checkering and a few minor dings and dents. The markings are clear. Mechanically fine. From the Will Hoffeld collection.
