Colt ~ The Woodsman ~ .22LR
Description: The Colt Woodsman is an iconic American semi-automatic sporting pistol manufactured by the U.S.Colt's Manufacturing Company from 1915 to 1977. It was designed by John Moses Browning. This particular model was manufactured in 1935 and exhibits quality construction and craftsmanship that may appeal to collectors and the Colt enthusiast. Browning developed the Woodsman with a short slide, no grip safety and no hammer. These features were in place on his Model 1903 and 1911 designs, but a handgun intended for target use did not require them. The Target Model was the base model and featured a 6" barrel with adjustable front and rear sights. It was not until 1927 that the name "Woodsman" was used. In 1941 as the US entered World War II, Colt ceased civilian production of the Woodsman but delivered 4000 Match Target models to the US Government as late as 1945. These pistols had oversized plastic two-piece grips and were marked "Property US Government", but appeared on the surplus market after the war. .22 Long Rifle Price: Was $699.99 Now $499.77 Curio/Relic: Yes Chambers: .22LR Metal Condition: Fair Wood Condition: Great Bore Condition: Good Barrels: 4.5 Inch Barrel Weight: 1.75 lbs Sights: Iron Sights Item Location: Gainesville, VA Contact Seller |
