1902 Cartridge Counter

Of the 50 Model 1902 9mm pistols received by the US government that were fitted with the Powell indicating device, two were stripped of their indicating device to be fitted on the Colt Model 1907 .45ACP. The US government had traded 50 of the 7.65mm Model 1900 Test Trials pistols for 50 of the new 9mm models which were fitted with the Powell device by DWM. The two Model 1907 Colts fitted with the device were sent to Fort Riley Kansas for testing, and as far as I know have never surfaced to the collecting community.
