Manufactured in 1907, this Military Model of 1902 pistol exhibits the mid-production high polish blue finish and rounded hammer which was completely phased out around serial number 33000. The left side of the slide is marked with the two-line patent date and two-line address arranged in two blocks with the Rampant Colt behind the serrations. The right side of the slide has the two-line caliber marking, "AUTOMATIC COLT/CALIBRE 38 RIMLESS SMOKELESS". The left side of the frame has the serial number and "VP" and "1" on the left of the trigger guard. It is fitted with blade and rounded top notch sights, a lanyard swivel on the lower left of the grip frame, checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colts and "COLT" banners, and a correct early production nickel plated magazine with the baseplate having the correct patent date marking.

Very fine, retains 70% plus of the bright, original, high polish blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a grey-brown patina, primarily in the form of mild holster and handling type wear. The grips are also fine, showing an attractively aged chocolate tone with a few light handling marks and flat spots, and well-defined checkering. Mechanically excellent.
