Colt Letter for Model 1900 arrived

To All:

Just as a footnote, I received my Colt Archival Letter on the Model 1900 certifying the firearm I have mentioned before - here are the details:

Colt Model 1900 Automatic Pistol
Serial Number: 4141
Caliber: .38/c
Barrel Length: 6"
Finish: Blue
Type of Stocks: Not Listed (They are Hard Rubber)
Special Features: Stub Hammer
Shipped To: A. Combaluzier
Address: Mexico City, Mexico
Date of Shipment: May 24, 1902
Number of Same Type
Guns in Shipment: 5

I am wondering if these guns were shipped to Mexico as test guns prior to the larger orders (@800 guns) being placed for the 1902 Military Model starting in 1907. Does anyone have any suggestions for where to research that information?
