Have done some searching but finding more on the woodsman than the huntsman. Not that I would ever sell this but do y'all have any idea if this has any collectible value

Those pistols are all over the scale based on minute details like date of manufacture, wear, etc. You would need an expert in that particular model to get an exact number. Otherwise you might as well get on GunBroker and see what "similar" models are selling for right now.

Nice piece. $74 in 1974.

Reminds me of a Browning Buckmark.

Totally pulling it out of my arse, but I'd say that's a $250-$300 pistol today.

I wonder how many rounds my grandfather got for $1.58 when he bought this.

Is it a .22? If so, he probably got a case of bricks for $1.58.

Very cool.

I have a Woodsman made in 1946 that I love to shoot.

Thanks for the picture. I worked at a full service gas station in the 70's and worked retail in the early 80's. Filled out thousands of those old Visa/Master Charge (not Mastercard) slips. Had to fill them out by hand. Also had to do all of the math. Didn't have a credit card machine to run them. Just the imprint slider thing. We didn't even have an electronic cash register. All of the change was made by doing the math yourself too. Double checking ourselves was why we always counted the change we gave back. There was more trust in people and less in computers then.

I recently bought a very clean one like it that was made in the 70s. We researched it and consulted a gun shop to determine a fair price, Settled on $400 for our private sale. Shop owner said he would retail price it closer to $500.
