number 1468 made 1916. This pistol retains approximately 90% to 95% original bright blue and the right side of the slide is period engraved “Phil. B. Bekeart, April 7, 1916, from Col.. C.L.F. Robinson”. Philip B Bekeart was a major dealer located in San Francisco who had close relationship with Colt and he was the inventor of a holster stock accessory used with Colt firearms. Col. C. L. F. Robinson was a president of Colt near this time and several inscribed Colts are known to be presented to and from him. This Woodsman shows a hand machined clip which is engine turned with special hole on reverse side. Also the inside floor of slide and rails have been polished as the same process as the clip. A factory letter is not available at time of cataloging however we feel the inscription is genuine to the period and possibly by Colt for their president who may have given it to a major gun personality who had close dealings with Colt and Smith & Wesson both. The woodsman retains 0.9 to 0.95
