The Pre-Woodsman Model was manufactured from 1915 to 1927 and prior to the "Woodsman" name. This particular pistol was manufactured in 1920 and features the very distinctive "pencil thin" barrel found on this model up until approximately serial number 31,000. The left side of the slide is marked "COLT AUTOMATIC/CAL..22 LONG RIFLE" followed by the Rampant Colt and the top of the barrel is marked with the two line address/1903 and two 1918 patent dates. The front sight is elevation adjustable and the rear sight is adjustable for windage. The pistol has the correct checkered oval panel on the mainspring housing which is characteristic of the Pre-Woodsman models designed for standard velocity 22 LR ammunition. Smooth trigger, blue Colt marked magazine and fitted with checkered walnut grips.

Excellent. The pistol retains 97% plus original blue finish with some wear on the muzzle and high edges, some minor spotting on the barrel and a small area of minor pitting on the left front of the frame. Overall there are a few light scratches and handling marks. The grips are also excellent with a few light dents in the otherwise sharp checkering. The markings are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
