For sale is a Colt Woodsman .22 LR manufactured in 1937 (Serial No. 122508), offering collectors an opportunity to own a genuine pre-war Colt rimfire pistol from one of the most respected eras of American firearms production. This example features the desirable 6 5/8-inch barrel and includes its magazine. The pistol is in fair condition and displays the honest wear expected of a firearm approaching 90 years of age. The original finish has been worn away over decades of use, creating a well-earned patina that reflects its history. The grips appear to be original, adding to the pistol's collector appeal and authenticity. The bore is clean but shows significant wear, with only faint traces of rifling remaining. While not a high-condition collector piece, this Woodsman is best appreciated as an original, unaltered example of Colt's legendary rimfire pistol and would make an excellent addition to a Colt, pre-war, or classic American firearms collection. Finding an authentic 1937 Woodsman at an accessible price point is becoming increasingly difficult, making this an attractive opportunity for collectors who value originality, history, and provenance over cosmetic condition.
