Manufactured in late 1955, this pistol is 1 of the first 1,001 Woodsman pistols of the 3rd Series, which were assigned a serial number between 146138-S and 147138-S from the end of the 2nd Series block. The numbers for the 3rd Series then jumped to 160001-S. The barrel is marked with the one line address, the frame has the Rampant Colt over "WOODSMAN", and the slide is marked "COLT AUTOMATIC/CAL..22 LONG RIFLE". The trigger guard is marked with the Colt triangle "VP" proof. Ramped blade front and adjustable rear target sights, smooth trigger, blue Colt marked magazine and checkered black grips. With an original Colt "woodgrain" box with gold embossed Rampant Colt on the lid and "COLT" on the inside of the lid, with instructions and cleaning brush.

Excellent. The pistol retains 95% original blue finish with some muzzle and high edge wear, and some thinning on the grip straps, as well as a small amount of minor spotting on the back strap. The grips are also excellent with a few minor dings along the upper and lower edges and very crisp checkering. The markings are clear. The action is excellent. The box is good plus.
