Description:

Manufactured in 1933 this Colt Woodsman features the rare half moon front sight that, according to renowned Colt Woodsman collector Major Robert J. Rayburn, was only made for a few months that same year with only two or three hundred total produced, and few are known to survive today. Windage adjustable rear sight with wide notch to accommodate the wider half moon front sight. The left side of the barrel is marked with the Colt address above the patent information. It has standard marking on the slide and frame. Nicely figured fully checkered walnut grip panels. There is a similar pistol pictured and described on page 23 of E. A. Brink's "Colt Rimfire Automatic Pistols: A Collectors Guide".

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 95% plus original blue finish, some areas of thinning, light handling evidence, and sharp grip checkering. Mechanically excellent.
