Original N-S Combination Stock / Holster for Colt Woodsman

Description

11/5/26 - For sale is an original N-S combination stock and holster for the Colt Woodsman .22 pistol. Patented in 1925 and made in Ventura, California, the N-S rig was sold with the slogan "Make a Rifle out of your Pistol": the pistol rides in the leather holster, and when drawn its grip slides into the metal clamp at the toe so the holster becomes a shoulder stock. This example is stamped "PAT. OCT. 20 1925 / N-S / VENTURA, CAL." in an oval on the front, and it retains its snap strap, belt clip on the back, and the black clamp at the toe. The brown leather is in good shape with solid stitching and light handling wear, and the clamp shows scratches and paint loss to its black finish, which is typical for these. Included is a photocopy of the original N-S advertisement and operating instructions. Per ATF guidance, this stock is exempt from the National Firearms Act when used with a Colt Woodsman manufactured between 1915 and 1943. A great addition to an early Woodsman collection.
