I have owned two Match Target Woodsmans (Woodsmen?). My first was an early postwar pistol. As I remember, it had brown plastic grips, Coltwood, I suppose. I bought it sometime around 1963-64 at an OGCA gun show for around $100. That was when I first started shooting Bullseye Target, and I used it until I stopped shooting Bullseye in the late 1980s. I sold it to a friend, but I don't remember the price. The second one was a very late production model, bought around 1977-78, for, I think, about $300 from a gun shop in Fort Worth that was going out of business. They happened to have this Woodsman because it had been ordered for a customer who left a deposit but never returned to pick it up. It was new, in its original box with all paperwork and a funny little keychain screwdriver. It had wood grips. I never fired it, it just went into the safe. As I wasn't using it, I finally sold it in the early 1990s for $550 at a gun show in San Antonio. Strange as it seems today, I considered that to be a very good price at the time. The old postwar Woodsman punched a lot of holes in the black, and performed very well for me. I wish I had kept at least one of them.
