I have a chance to purchase a Colt 1902 Nickel Plated 38 Rimless Smokeless pistol. It has the following printed on it. Colts Pt Fa Mfg Co. Hartford Ct USA 1897-1902 Auto Colt 38 Rimless Smokeless Serial # 42573. It has fake stag grips and the magazine is original. It appears to be in working order. It is not a military version. Did Colt offer this model nickel plated from the factory. The pistol is by no means in excellent condition and there is some pitting. The barrel looks to be about 5 inches long. From what I have read the cartridge is the same size as the 38 Super and I know a Super cartridge shoud never be fired in this pistol. I don't know what to offer him and would appreciate some advice.
