| Woodsman 2nd Series Match Target .22LR 4.5" Blue,
99.8%, SN#132722-S (1953) Angelo Bee (master
engraver more noted for his Browning work) engraved
(not factory) and documented with mint non-checkered
elephant IVORY grips w/thumbrest, mint bore, correct
magazine, Xerox 'Flattop' instruction sheet, no test target,
IVORY grip adapter(1), no box. Engraving coverage
approximates 70% of possible flat surface with an
exquisitely detailed Gold Rampant Colt in relief
above Gold recessed 'Match Target' letters on left side of
frame with an equally exquisitely detailed Gold Bald
Eagle with silver head and tail feathers in relief attacking
a target bullseye with its' talons on the right side of
frame above and in front of Gold recessed Serial # figures.
A Gold trigger and Gold front sight blade
accentuate the effect. Not overdone! Gun features the
new-in-1953 Accro rear sight with 'Flattop' slide -- these
'Flattop' models were produced from mid-1953 to end
of production of the 2nd Series guns in 1955 and are much
scarcer and harder to find than the earlier Coltmaster
rear sight models because Colt's was making very few
Woodsmans at the time. Comes with Angelo Bee signed
certificate of engraving origin and Angelo Bee
business card and professionally framed and
professionally photographed slightly larger-than-life-size
photographs of both sides and Colt Custom Shop french-fitted
display case (mint in original box with key) with maroon
velvet interior that really shows off the gun. Gun is
strikingly MINT, beautifully done and easily a centerpiece
for any Woodsman Collection! |
