World War II U.S. Property Marked Colt First Series Woodsman Match Target Semi-Automatic Pistol
Manufactured in 1944, this is one of approximately only 4,000 Colt Woodsman Match Target pistols produced for the U.S. military during World War II. Blade front and fully adjustable notch rear sights, with the "MATCH/(bullseye)/TARGET" marking on the left rear of the barrel, the slide marked "COLT" next to the caliber markings and Rampant Colt, and "THE WOODSMAN/U.S. PROPERTY" on the left side of the frame. The trigger guard is marked "e/VP", the "MT" serial number down the front strap, extended, checkered plastic grips, and full blue magazine marked "COLT WOODSMAN/CAL. 22 L.R./MATCH TARGET MOD." on the base.
Very fine, retains 90% plus of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina, primarily on the grips straps and some edges, and some spotting on the top of the barrel and slide. The grips are excellent with only the slightest handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
