Nobody???
You may have better luck in the trad history/collecting forum.
There are two RH Colts in an antique store near me. One is $65 and the other is $75. Both are shootable but well used. Neither have green glass that I recall.
If they were leftys then at least one would be on my bow rack.
I know that doesn't help you much but that's the asking price for two near me. I think they are from the 60s. The riser wood looks like it could be Shedua but I ain't sure.
The His/Coll forum may get you better and more precise answers.
I personally like that Colt logo that says Colt Firearms on a recurve.
Thanks fellas,I'll ask in that forum. Bud,Yep,I like that too. I know that the Colt Woodsman is a great .22 pistol. I just wanted to find out more about this bow. I doubt Colt made it in Hartford,must have had someone else make them then put the Colt logo on it.
I believe Wing Archery made most of the bows for Colt. That is zebrawood in the riser on yours.
I get an entirely different picture in my mind when I hear "Colt Woodsman". Guess that establishes my age :)
Hey Thanks Jack,That's the kind of info I'm looking for.Any idea of when they made them?
