[hey, I tried the search option first]
An early colt pistol just surfaced the night before an estate sale and I need some info, Please?
.22 long rifle
ser# 28,xxx (pat dates 1903,1918,1918)
6.5" round barrel, adj front and rear sights. Checkered walnut grip panels with diamond at single screw. Checkered backstrap.
one 10 round mag (temper line?) with roller-type mag release at grip heel. Beautiful blueing.
condition 95% or better. No box or papers.
I am assuming this to be an early woodsman? (wasn't there a few years before the "woodsman" name was adopted?)
Value? (help!) This may be able to be bought privately before the auction at 10AM tomorrow (Sat April 28th)
TIA
