This is an excellent, Colt Model 1902 "Military" model pistol that was manufactured in early 1916. This pistol comes with a Colt factory letter dated Feb. 2009 that lists this as being in a shipment of 5 pistols, shipped to Miller Morse Hardware Company in Winnipeg, Canada. This model was one of the first truly successful Colt semi-automatic pistols and is easily distinguished from the sporting model by the square butt, slide lock on the left side of the slide and lanyard swivel on the lower left side of the frame. The left of the slide has a two-line, two-block marking that are all in the later style, block letters that consist of "PATENTED/APR.20,1897.SEPT.9,1902" followed by "COLT'S PT.F.A.MFG.CO./HARTFORD, CT.U.S.A.". The right side is marked "AUTOMATIC COLT/CALIBRE 38 RIMLESS SMOKELESS". The Rampant Colt trademark is stamped behind the slide serrations on the left side of the slide. This model has the grip serrations on the rear of the slide and a spur hammer. The pistol has the Colt high polish commercial blue finish with a polished chamber and muzzle area on the barrel and casehardened hammer. The serial number "38779" is stamped on the left side of the frame above the trigger guard. The left side of the trigger guard bow is stamped with Colt "VP/triangle" proofmark and "1" assembler's. It comes with one all blued unmarked magazine. This wonderful pistol comes with two original boxed (50 rounds in each) of Remington Cleanbore 38 Automatic ammunition.
