Does anyone know if the 1902 commercial [7 rd] has a visual difference, like maybe one less hole in the side (just a WAG)???

I've been checking eBay, GB, and Google Images, but can't find a definitive answer...

BTW: George - I see you have the Colt 'paper' for your 1902...How much did it cost to do that???

Rich: I was lucky since the letter came with the gun as a package deal. I've got Colt letters for some of my other Colts and they cost $100 for most autos such as the 1911s and $75 for my Canadian-proofed 1917 New Service pistol which wound up serving with the AEF in WWI.
