Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly excited to present this one-of-a-kind master engraved 1953 Colt Woodsman Series 2 Target Model. Chambered in the ubiquitous .22 LR with a six-inch barrel, this firearm carries unparalleled provenance. It was previously owned by Robert Rayburn, the world's foremost expert on the Woodsman and author of the definitive reference texts on the model.
The actual pistol is a stunning masterpiece, featuring a custom bright nickel finish that serves as a canvas for the intricate scrollwork. The work is attributed to Colt master engraver Denise Thirion, as documented in the Rayburn collection archives. It is fitted with spectacular pre-ban elephant ivory grips that showcase deep natural character and beautiful grain, remaining solid and intact throughout.
This historic investment package arrives in a deluxe glass-top presentation case with a red velvet-style lining. Included is a photocopy of the original Rayburn Woodsman Collection archive sheet verifying the engraver and specifications. This firearm is in collector grade condition, representing a museum-quality centerpiece for any elite Colt gallery. This is truly a unique opportunity to own a legend's personal pistol.
