I can't find a 1902 listed beyond the '3 Pirates' catalog of 1913.
They don't seem to have a 1902 listed on the factory website.

Gee, Lee
Lets not be so one-sided about this.
Guess what else disappears at exactly the same point in time ?
Indeed - no more mention of 1905, either. I think you need to keep
that in mind, when you reference 1905 4th change revolvers. They are
just as non-existant.
The whole point here is that, Yes, there are two different models for
the K-frame revolvers, and the difference is the butt configuration.
One of the reasons this is "so" important is that, as near as I can
tell, it is the only S&W product that is categorized this way. Its fine
with me if you - the Collectors - want to refer to the K-frames as
round butt model or square-butt model. However, if you - the
Collectors - want to refer to a Model of 1905, then its inappropriate
to not also refer to a Model of 1902, when the butt is round.
