My friend just inherited this and asked me about it. I had no clue but think it's awesome! What can you tell me?
Original finish? Possible worth?

I think it's safe to say that is not an original finish.
Appears to be a "sporting model". And, apparently only about 6900 produced. Very cool piece. For what it's worth.... Colt 1902 - Wiki No idea on value. |

| fxntime is right that gun was VERY poorly refinished in it's past. even a no finish gun is going to be worth more than that buffed to death classic. It is in 38 ACP caliber- same case as a 38 super but do NOT use super level loads in it- can definitely hurt the gun light 38 acp level loads to try and shoot it if you want. |
