Colt model 1878-1902 Alaskan revolver .45 LC
Op de Kast gemarkeerd met Inspector markings JTT en RAS en de model aanduiding 1902
Het Amerikaanse leger had het Model 1878 van Colt in 1879 getest en afgewezen – voornamelijk vanwege problemen met een te lichte slagpinveer. Vele jaren later zocht de Filipijnse regering revolvers van kaliber .45 voor de Filipijnse gendarmerie. Colt greep deze kans aan om de revolver 1878 te modificeren door een sterkere hamerveer te monteren en de trekker te verlengen, zodat de schutter meer grip had op de navenant zwaardere trekker. Ook de trekkerbeugel werd vergroot, wat nodig was om de verlengde trekker te kunnen plaatsen. Dit gaf het wapen een kenmerkend uiterlijk, dat in de volksmond bekend zou worden als het Alaskan Model. De model aanduiding suggereerde dat de grotere trekkebeugel bedoeld was voor gebruik met handschoenen. In werkelijkheid was dit ontwerp echter bedoeld om de betrouwbaarheid te verhogen met het oog op verkoop aan de overheid.
Het wapen dat hier te koop staat verkeerd in goede functionele staat met het wapen zijn een aantal testschoten gedaan met .45LC western loads.
