Manufactured in 1940, with the standard two-line address and patent date marked on top of the barrel. The left side of the slide has the standard Colt and caliber markings followed by the Rampant Colt. The left of the frame is marked "THE WOODSMAN", and the left of the barrel is marked "MATCH/TARGET" above and below the bullseye logo. It is fitted with Patridge blade front and adjustable notch rear sights and the very desirable checkered walnut "elephant ear" grips with Colt medallions. Includes the original box, yellow hang tag with the Rampant Colt logo discussing the sights, "Form 57" green Woodsman hang tag, serialized test target, "Shooting Suggestions" pamphlet with "proper care" card on the back, "Colt 'Woodsman' Automatic Pistol" booklet/manual, and small brown envelope.

Excellent in the original box, retaining 99% plus of the original blue finish with only the slightest handling marks overall and crisp checkering on the grips. Mechanically excellent. The box and accessories are all fine with some mild wear and a few separated corners of the lid.
