A lovely pair of unfired, decorated Colt Woodsman Match Target semiautomatic pistols realized $25,000 at a May 21, 2021, Sportsman's Legacy sale. The pistols, one of which has a 4½-inch barrel and the other a 6-inch barrel, feature Colt factory “C” engraving, gold lettering and target grips. The work was executed in 1983 by Master Engraver George Spring, and he employed floral and scroll designs over some 75 percent of the guns. They are fitted in a French-style, double-walnut case complete with a Colt Custom medallion on the lid. All-in-all, the pair offers a spectacular presentation.
