The Model 1902 Revolver is referred to as the "Alaskan" or "Philippine" model due to the distinctive over-sized trigger guard. Approximately 4,600 of these revolvers were purchased by the Army to provide a large caliber replacement for the .38 caliber New Army Model DA revolver. The top of the barrel is marked, "45 COLT" on the left side and a "P" and "K" on the underside. The left rear of the frame and rear cylinder face are marked "R.A.C.", there is also a "P" also on the rear cylinder face, and the right side of the frame below the cylinder is marked "U.S.". The complete serial number is marked on the toe of the butt and the partial serial number "7397" is marked on the loading gate and rear cylinder face. The revolver is fitted with checkered grips with the Rampant Colt in an oval at the top.

Very good. The revolver retains 30% original thin blue finish mixed with smooth mottled brown and gray patina. The grips have faded to brown and remain very good with a couple minor scuffs and dings, and crisp checkering. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
