I collected Colt Woodsman pistols in 2013.

1919 pre woodsman $360

1941 woodsman $299

Those were the cheap ones.

The $299 was at a pawn shop where everything is double prices and a few employees know nothing.
Someone brought in that pistol on consignment with 4 original mags. A customer bought 3 of the mags for so much money that the employee on duty thought that $299 was all the pistol with one mag was worth. I did not even dicker that price. When I saw it in the showcase, I had to keep from laughing.
