I have a 1937 Woodsman on hold for $499. The gun is in very good shape for a 67 yr. old, has a nice patina to bluing, & it comes w/ 3 magazines & a holster that's probably from the same era. The grips are beautiful, fully checkered & excellent.
I don't know anything about these guns. It's a small gun, w/ what could be a 6" barrel but seems shorter to me.
My big question is if it's worth the price. The craftsmanship is absolutely amazing, fine checkering to metal pieces & almost invisible side panel fitting. It seems to be in good mechanical condition, also. The take down process, as explaind to me seems very tedious & complex, compared to modern guns. Is it a problem? Wil this gun be useable? Are parts available?
Any info. or advice on this beautiful piece will be greatly appreciated.
