My son, who is left handed likes to shoot my Colt Woodsman, except for the right handed target grips that are on it. About 2-3 years ago I ran across a set of nice left handed target grips that were carved by a craftsman named Lew Sanderson who made grips in the 50s and 60s. The seller had put the grips on Gunbroker with the note that he did not know who made them or what they fit, only that he thought they were for a .22 auto. Anyway, I bought them for his min. price and stashed them away. I finally figured out that they were made for a High Standard Sport King pistol. I started looking around and found a nice 6 5/8" bbl High Standard, bought it and installed the grips. My son is coming for a visit and to help me finish the concrete floor in my new shop this weekend and is going to get a big surprise! Some pics.............
The right handed grips on the Woodsman are also by Lew Sanderson and were made for the Colt in 1950 or 1951! When I bought the Colt, I got lots of provenance with it including a post card saying that the grips would be ready soon! The Colt Woodsman Match Target is the one on the lower right.
