I desperately lust after a 1902 with the nitre bluing intact but the odds of it ever happening are slim to none.

Thanks for the compliment! I really like the old Colt revolvers and pistols, especially when they are still showing lots of the original Colt blue. The only bad thing about the Colt blue is that it is difficult to photograph well. Here is another pic, showing the right side. Phone picture is not so sharp, but at least you can see the finish better. The left grip panel is cracked, but originals are not too hard to find. The only other blemishes are a couple of spots of dried oil on the top of the slide. I think they will clean off with time.
