Colt Model 1900 - Right side view
Colt Model 1900 Serial number 4018 marked on left side of frame, above trigger. Lack of VP mark indicates that the gun either had sight safety modified prior to 1905 or was originally shipped from the factory with the sight safety altered. Since it's a later example, the gun was most likely manufactured and shipped in the altered state. Factory Alteration to Sight Safety - sight safety has been removed and plugged with a piece of steel. A second pin was inserted in the rear of the slide to secure the block. Top of slide was modified with a dovetail to accept the new rear sight.
