Manufactured in 1937. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line address/1903, 1918 patent dates. The left side of the frame is marked "THE WOODSMAN" and the slide is marked "COLT AUTOMATIC/CAL..22 LONG RIFLE" followed by the Rampant Colt. The serial number is marked on the front strap. The upper left front of the trigger guard is marked "X" over the Colt "VP" triangle proofmark, with "30" on the opposite. Elevation adjustable blade front sight and windage adjustable notch rear sight, serrated trigger, serrated panel on the back strap, two tone Colt marked magazine and fitted with checkered walnut grips. Complete with the original maroon hinged lid box numbered to the gun (on bottom), "shooting suggestions" and "special instructions" pamphlets, instructions, cleaning brush and sight screwdriver.

Excellent plus. The pistol retains 99% original blue finish with some mild muzzle wear and overall slight handling/storage marks. The grips are excellent with a few tiny dings and some mild wear on the otherwise very crisp checkering. The markings are clear and crisp with gold highlights, (some absent on slide marking). Mechanically excellent. The box is good with a broken lid corner, a split on the rear seam of the lid and some accompanying material loss.
