Our Assessment: John M. Browning designed "Colt’s Automatic Pistol, Caliber .22", later to become the Woodsman, with the design refined slightly by Colt employees George Tansley and F.C. Chadwick before it was released in 1915. The Huntsman model was introduced in 1950 as a more affordable alternative to the Woodsman. This example is in Fine-plus condition and ready to hit the range or add t your Colt collection.
