Scarce COLT Model 1902 Semi-Automatic .38 ACP Caliber SPORTING Pistol C&R
RARE; 1 of 6,927 “Sporting” Models Manufactured
Description: Scarce COLT Model 1902 Semi-Automatic .38 ACP Caliber SPORTING Pistol C&R RARE; 1 of 6,927 “Sporting” Models Manufactured Here we present a C&R Colt Model 1902 Semi-Automatic Sporting Pistol manufactured in Hartford, Connecticut in 1904. The Sporting Model was manufactured between 1902 and 1908 with a total of 6,927 pistols produced. Manufactured concurrently with the “Sporting” Model was the “Military” Model with a production run between 1902 and 1928 with a total of 18,068 pistols manufactured. The Sporting Model 1902 variant was slightly lighter and smaller than the military version, with a more rounded grip frame. As mentioned above, in 6 years of production a total of 6,927 Sporting versions were manufactured. In the period of 1902–1907 the Sporting Models still outsold the military models, 6,927 to 5,500 and when production of the Sporting Model ended in 1907, sales were still steady. Perhaps unexpectedly, with the end of Sporting model production, the Military Model sales actually began to decline until 1913, The Model 1902 is a semi-automatic pistol developed by famous American firearms designer John Browning and produced by the Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company in the early 20th century. The Model 1902 was not a new design, but rather an incremental improvement upon the nearly identical Model 1900 and would transition from the 1900 into three distinct but related pistols with the same action and cartridge, the 1902 Sporting Model, the 1902 Military model, and the 1903 Pocket Hammer model. The 1902 Sporting model was so similar to the 1900 that it continued the serial number range, while the 1902 Military Model featured a different serial range as did the 1903 Pocket Hammer model. The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is dark. Mis-matched grip panels. Markings are legible. This example has been refinished in nickel.
