Maybe it was the angle when the picture was taken. but that "lanyard hook" looks a lot like a magazine release, before they moved it up on the handle in later designs...mr fixit wrote:You are correct!G.C.Montgomery wrote:1902 Sporting in .38ACP...I'm guessing since the only 1902 Military I've ever seen had a lanyard hoop.
Colt 1902 Sporting, .38 ACP. Left the factory in 1907. My Dad bought it from the owners widow when he was a teenager.
I don't see much difference between the 1900 and the 1902 then...
Same style cut of the hard leather grips on the two versions...
Still, that is a fine collectors piece! Lucky!!!
