Neat!! Can't wait to hear the results of the letter on the 44!! The Colt is a "Pre-Woodsman". Judging from the diamond grips, probably 1922 or earlier. The model was stamped Woodsman begining ~1927. Someone swapped the barrel to a 4.5" sport (began Sport production in 1933) it would have been a 6 5/8" pencil or medium barrel originally. Skeeter Skelton wrote his first handgun shoot was with his dad's Colt Woodsman Sport around age 6. Glad your friend wasn't shot with it!!! Nice souvenir though.
