Colt Model 1902 Philippine Constabulary DA revolver, .45 Long Colt caliber, Serial #45972. The pistol is one of approximately 4600 revolvers purchased for issue to the Philippine Constabulary. The revolver has the distinctive oversize trigger guard and elongated trigger which are unique to the Model 1902 Double Action Revolver. The revolver has a bird's head butt with checkered, hard rubber grips. The top of the barrel is roll-stamped: "COLT'S PT. F.A.MFG. Co. HARTFORD CT. U.S.A." in a single line. The caliber designation,"45 COLT." is roll-stamped on the left side of the barrel. The underside of the barrel is stamped with a "K" Colt inspection mark and an Ordnance "P" proof. The right side of the frame has a "U.S." property mark stamped above the trigger guard bow and the Ordnance inspector's initials "JTT" stamped just above the top of the right grip and the date "1902" in front of it. The Ordnance sub-inspector's initials "R.A.C." are stamped on the left front trigger guard bow. The encircled Rampant Colt trademark is stamped on the lower left side of the frame just ahead of the grip. All of the visible serial numbers match. The pistol retains approximately 75-85% of the thinning blue finish with wear at the muzzle and some light pin prick pitting on the 6” barrel. The grips are very good, the action works well and the bore is bright. From the Ernie Sable Collection. Est.: $1,500-$3,000. (C+R).
