Item Details
The Colt Automatic Pistol 1902 Model was produced from 1902 to 1928, and was a direct evolution from the original Colt Automatic Pistol of 1900. There are two distinct versions of the 1902, known as the Sporting and Military models. Like the original Model of 1900, both the Sporting and Military model fired the .38 auto cartridge. The Military Model - In 1900 the U.S. military wanted a sidearm with a longer grip, primarily to allow a man to get a better hold on the big gun, but a secondary advantage was that it would allow for an additional cartridge in the magazine. They also wanted a way to hold the slide open after the last round was fired which would enable quick reloading without changing hands, and they wanted a means of field stripping the gun that did not require a tool of any kind. So John M. Browning designed a slide stop mechanism for the gun and modified the plug in the end of the recoil spring housing such that it could be pressed inward to take tension off the transverse bar that locks the slide to the frame. Finally, the military requested that a lanyard ring and swivel be installed on the pistol grip which required that the bottom rear of the grip be squared, rather than rounded, to accommodate it. With these design updates to the Model 1900, the Military Model of 1902 was born. Colt agreed to make the requested changes as early as March of 1901, but the new pistol was not ready until late in the year. On 16 December, 1901, the pistol was examined by members of the Ordnance Board at the Springfield Armory; and on Christmas Eve, after additional magazines had been delivered, the first protype was test fired using approximately 6,000 rounds. The first hundred guns, serial numbers 15001 through 15100 were delivered to Springfield Armory on 15 July, 1902, and the second hundred, serial numbers 15101 through 15200, were delivered on 25 July. The pistols were issued in September to officers and enlisted men in the Second, Fourth, and Thirteenth Cavalry and the Eighth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Seventeenth field batteries stationed at Fort Riley and Forth Leavenworth in Kansas and at Jefferson Barracks in Missouri. The finish on the early Military Model was a mirror polished rich charcoal blue with the small parts fire blued. According to Douglas Sheldon, the finish changed color somewhat around 1915, and less polishing was done prior to the bluing process. Approximately only 18,068 total units of the Military Model 1902 version were produced. Colt presented one of these pistols to then President Theodore Roosevelt. The Model 1902 was never adopted by the U.S. or any other world military organization, probably due to reservations regarding the design's robustness as well as its developmental nature. Only one order of 200 were ever purchased by U.S. Army. The Colt 1905 .45 ACP, which was really being developed by Colt with military contracts in mind, supplied the most impatient and significantly supplemented Colt 1902 sales while setting the table for US government adoption of the Model 1911. According to Colt Archives serial number database, this Model 1902 Military Automatic was manufactured in 1920. Features include a 6" barrel, hard rubber black checkered grips with Roaring Colt embossed logo, rear slide serrations, lanyard ring, checkered low-spur hammer, 8-round detachable box magazine, notched dovetail rear sight and fixed blade front sight. Markings include: Left Slide "PATENTED/ APRIL 20. 1897. SEPT. 9. 1902"; Right Slide "AUTOMATIC COLT/ CALIBRE 38 RIMLESS SMOKELESS", Right Trigger Guard "48"; Left Trigger Guard "1" / "VP" within Delta triangle; Magazine "MIL./ COLT/ 38 CAL". This gun is in nice condition with some bluing wear on the straps & muzzle side, has an excellent sharp/ clean bore and appears to be in good working order... This gun is from the Outstanding Don Crawford 70+ years Collector/ Investment Grade Collection.

- In order for an auctioneer to utilize ProxiBid's new ATG Payment System, the buyer’s sales tax (for the state in which they live) is automatically deducted. There is no way to bypass this feature for an auctioneer. Many states now require sales tax for auction items, but not all. If you live in a state that has passed an Auction Sales Tax Law (which most have in the past few years), the system automatically deducts your states percentage. If you live in a state that does not require sales tax on auction items, no tax will be added. Also, if you have a State Tax Number, you can register it with ProxiBid and no sales tax will be deducted. This new software is designed to make payments easier for the buyer and take the burden of the required sale tax off the auctioneer.
