Pre-War Colt Sport Woodsman Semi-Automatic Pistol with "King Super Target Conversion"

This is an excellent and very desirable Colt First Model Woodsman with a Colt-King Super Target Conversion package manufactured in 1937. The conversion consists of milling a slot in top of the slide and frame over the chamber of the barrel. A full length sight adjustable for elevation and windage was added to the slide. A ventilated rib sight with reflector was added to the front of the frame and barrel. It is marked "COLT-KING SUPER TARGET" on the left side. Also a tubular barrel weight was installed underneath the barrel and one could install different weights inside the tube. It is marked "KING / PATENT" on the knurled and slotted cap at the front. The weight installed on this one is turned steel and appears to be filled with some other material per King's patent. The front sight blade can be removed and different heights installed. The side of the barrel is marked with the standard Colt two-line address and patent markings and the side of the receiver and slide have the standard markings. It is also fitted with a set of Roper style extended wrap-around target grips with the raised thumb rest and grip extender on the back side with wraparound checkering covering both sides and the thumbrest. Serrated trigger and two tone Colt marked magazine. This is a very desirable variation of a Colt Woodsman.

ConditionExcellent. The pistol retains 98% original blue finish with some minor muzzle wear and some thinning on the right rear of the frame and on the back strap. There is some minor spotting on the back strap as well. The grips are also excellent with a few minor dings and handling marks, and sharp checkering. The markings are clear and crisp. Mechanically excellent.
