I'll let the pictures tell the story. Apologies for the dust and lint. I never see that stuff in the real world, but it sure shows up in photos.


No corrosion or staining on the forestrap or trigger guard...

... or on the backstrap.
No high point wear on the sight to speak of...

Minimal wear on barrel and slide channels.
Crisp stampings.
I'm calling this one 99%. I didn't realize I was looking for one of these until I saw this one. I have always kind of liked the simple and unornamented design of the 1900 and 1902 semiautos, but I didn't realize that they looked this good with most of the blue still on them. Sam Lisker's published 1902 Military production table dates this specimen to 1923.
