Manufactured in 1949 and chambered in the extremely rare .22 Short caliber. The standard caliber was .22 Long Rifle. Colt manufactured a small number of Woodsman in .22 Short for experimentation and five in 1949 for use with the U.S. team at the Pan American Games in South America. The .22 Short Woodsmans used at the Pan American games were Second Series Match Targets with 4 1/2 inch barrels and alloy slides. This example has a 4 1/2 inch barrel and alloy slide. The left side of the barrel has the two-line Hartford address/patent marking and a Rampant Colt above "MATCH TARGET." The alloy slide is unmarked and lacks a slide stop.

ConditionExcellent. The barrel and frame retain 98% original blue finish with some minor scratches. The slide retains 97% original anodized finish. The grips are excellent with crisp checkering.
