�found this at a gunshow here in Laramie this morning�..I've wanted a Woodsman or Huntsman for quite awhile and this one looked like it was in pretty decent shape for its age (serial # 1001XX-C puts it in 1956 or 7 I think). If any of you have access to manufacturing dates, I sure like to know if I'm off base of when it was made. ![[Linked Image]](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a317/gmoats/photo1-6_zps2391698c.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a317/gmoats/photo2-4_zps7ecd7b53.jpg)
The blindness from subjectivity is indistinguishable from the darkness of ignorance.

You are correct. A '56 it is. The early ones had the black plastic grips, later ones walnut. Good score....

Classy gun and classy weaving behind it. Got a nose for the good stuff, you do.

Gmoats: Great find you have there.
Do you plan on carrying it afield (shooting it) or just holding onto it as an investment/collector piece?
Either way I hope you enjoy it to the max.
