  I am questioning the value of a gun. It is a Colt Woodsman, 22 caliber with a serial number of 171526-S. This gun has ivory grips all professionally etched/engraved. This is an awesome weapon and has been in my family for years. It is in excellent shape as my father has kept it functional and in a most professional shape. I would appreciate anyone's knowledge as to the value of this weapon.
  Thank you.

  Are we missing something here?? This low of a serial # indicates a 1st series Woodsman from the late 1920's or early 1930's. My 3rd Series Woodsman from the 1960's is 2008XX S.

  I beleive Rufe is correct. The serial number indicates it is a 2nd or 3rd model, possibly a Match Target 1971.

  The "0" prefix is what differentiates the serial numbers of the 3rd issue Woodsman from the original ones, made in the teens and 20's.

  I didn't buy the colt,
  I bought a High Standard
  Citation. I tried out the woodsman
  and two Colt target match pistols.
  Way inferior triggers to the high Standard.
