need advice on match target

[snap34mo]

I just picked up a match target with serial number 61305-S, can anyone tell me the year and the series. I think it is probably a 2nd series, it has no woodsman marking and has the little piece on the back of the grip.

Yup, second series w/ 6" barrel. Magazine relase button behind trigger on left side of frame. Third series MT has the magazine release on the heel of the frame. Proofhouse says 1950.

www.proofhouse.com to find out the year of manufacture by serial number. Look at www.colt22.com for more information.

Those look like "Coltwood" grips. Nice looking MT.

2nd series 1950. These keep going up in value. Shoot it but don't abuse it.
