** Colt US Model 1902 Philippine Constabulary Revolver
.45 Colt. 6" barrel. SN: 43471 (mfg. 1900). Blued finish, checkered hard rubber Rampant Colt logo grips. Double action, 6-shot solid frame revolver with large trigger guard, ejector rod on right of barrel and lanyard ring in butt. One-line barrel address reads "COLT'S PT. F.A. MFG Co HARTFORD CT.

Carr) inspection at upper left rear of frame above grip with "OCH" (Odus C Horney) inspection at upper right rear of frame. These revolvers are found in the 43,401 to 48,097 serial number range, so this is one of the earliest revolvers in this series.

Condition:
Very Good. Retains much of the blued finish, with moderate amounts of flaked loss and further loss from wear and carry. Exposed areas have a dull smoky-gray patina which makes the gun appear to retain more finish than it actually does when viewed under normal lighting conditions, but under strong lighting looks more mottled. All markings remain clear and crisp. Mechanically functional, crisp action with good timing, indexing and lock up. Very good bore with crisp rifling, is mostly bright with some lightly scattered pitting and some scattered oxidation. Grips very good with crisp checkering, some fading towards chocolate brown and showing some light handling marks.
