Got this over the weekend. When he said $2 I was able to act normal and grab 2 singles calmly.

Im hoping for $150. Got a bid within 5 min after listing. But if I only get $75 Im still happy with that.

Nice buys. Thanks for sharing...

As a Colt enthusiast and collector, that is a great find and buy. I would have had trouble not getting the shakes as I scrambled for my $2 also. You will get more than $75 bucks I would think. If it was to a Woodsman, I have seen them go for over $300. Congratulations, I wish I had found it and had known you had it before it got on the bay. Great find. T.

P.S. I found your auction and I am a watcher. Good luck with it.

It isn't for a Woodsman, it says Colt Automatic Pistol .32 cal. right on the box. Woodsman was .22, the .32 CAP is a small pocket pistol.

I know that, if you re-read my post I said "IF", geez.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Here's a recent sold one- Colt 1928 Pocket Model 32 Iriginal Box Pamphlet | eBay

I think I found the gun it had a wire/metal piece in barrel which wouldnt allow it to be fires but is an autoomatic and needs a new barrel to be workable.

Yea Im hoping it goes for that. It already passed $75 after only 24 hours with a bunch of watchers.

my dad had a woodsman and had to sell it in hard times back in the eighties I think. Still has the original box. I should tell him it is worth a few bucks.

Geez NJ Marty, do you find all of the cool stuff? Years ago I picked up a Colt Service Ace .22 automatic box with the booklet, purchase receipt and factory target signed by the employee that test fired the gun. Cost? $1.00

I sold it for over 200.00 and that was a negotiated price with a collector i knew. You can't lose for what you paid and eBay should increase the amount of interested buyers. Good luck!!

Thanks, I buy a lot of items and a lot of times they don't pan out. But there are those items you get to know after many years of this addiction, the ones that make you say to yourself ''I cant believe so many people looked through these items and THIS OMG THIS is still here"

No kidding. I found mine at the first day of an estate sale, a few hours in and I had just started hitting sales. The house was packed but nobody was paying attention to the little box on the kitchen counter
