"Colt 1902 Alaskan  Model  (L2026-05970) 

Description:
"Serial number 47376. Made in 1900. 45 LC caliber with a 6” barrel.   This is a fine example of a Colt Alaskan model with 80% of the original blue.   It has  all of  the proper  Military  inspections  marks and the 1902 marking on the  right hand  side of the frame. These guns were used during the Spanish American war.  There are  numerous  theories why the trigger guards  on  the  1902s  were so much bigger than the  1878s. The popular theory that has all been debunked was to  accommodate  a gloved hand.   Most of these were hade for the Philippine  constabulary  though  and one of the more credible theories tossed around was this was for a  two finger  trigger pull  due to the belief the  Philippinos  could not pull the trigger with one finger.
