Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Woodsman is a semi-automatic sporting pistol manufactured by the U.S.Colt's Manufacturing Company from 1915 to 1977. It was designed by John Moses Browning. The frame design changed over time, in three distinct series: series one being 1915–1941, series two 1947–1955, and series three being 1955–1977.
The Colt Woodsman sprang from a design by John Moses Browning and was refined by gunsmiths and designers at Colt's before its introduction in 1915. Browning developed the Woodsman with a short slide, no grip safety and no hammer. These features were in place on his Model 1903 and 1911 designs, but a handgun intended for target use did not require them.
There are three series of the Colt Woodsman and each series had three models: Target, Sport and Match Target. The Target Model was the base model and featured a 6 5/8" barrel with adjustable front and rear sights. It was not until 1927 that the name "Woodsman" was used.
The early 1st Series Models are very collectible and we would expect this one to be no different. The fit and finish on these pistols is better than many guns made today, enhancing their collectability.
