My dad was going through some of his father's stuff today and found this. All I can tell it's a Colt .22 of some sort. Anything you can tell me about it would be greatly appreciated.      |
| As mentioned it's a Woodsman. The grips on those were an early plastic and often warped or fell apart from age or fairly low heat. Looks like it may have just been left in a hot car or stored near a stove/fireplace. Brownells used to carry reproduction grips for them and may still. |

Yep, Colt Woodsman. Looks like the grips went through a fire and melted. The way the finish at the magwell looks just makes me think confirms it for me. Looks like the holster protected the rest. RUST ETA: Also looks like someone did some "work" on the trigger. FIFY |

Thanks for the links. I'll be picking this up in a few weeks and see first hand how bad it is. Hopefully I can get her restored to her former glory |
