Description:

Manufactured in 1902, this Model 1900 retains the original "sight safety" device; a novel combination rear sight and firing pin blocking safety, the feature was not well received being removed by many end-users and excluded from later evolutions of the Browning design. Present on the slide are the original half-moon blade front sight and lightly serrated notch rear sight, which is still a fully functional safety along with the front serrations and the two-block "BROWNING'S PATENT" and Colt address markings ahead of the circled Rampant Colt logo on the left. Casehardened flat spur hammer and niter blue trigger with a set of "COLT" banner grips and a nickel finished magazine marked "PAT'D SEPT.9.1884" on the base.

Rating Definition:

Very good with 20% of the original blue finish concentrated in the protected areas and on the underside of the frame with a mixed gray patina overall, bright edge wear and scattered spotting and handling marks. Traces of bright case color are present on the hammer with over half the bright niter blue on the trigger. Grips are good with a replaced screw on the left panel and a few light scratches and dings. There is some play in the safety otherwise mechanically fine.
