Rich, I have a bunch of holsters Which I believe are for 6.5" Woodsmans
I was lucky to get this Colt holster with a Woodsman Sport.

Was the "Gamegetter" the model 1908 like this one? Not many people know what they are today. If it is registered and still in your family it is a treasure

Both models of the Gamegetter were removed from the BATF list and are now listed as Curio & Relic.

Why was it on the BATF&E list in the first place, because it is a "short-barreled rifle"?

It was NFA listed because of barrels lengths (12" 15" and 18" if my memory serves me correctly) and the folding stock complicated it further) the 12 & 15" still require a tax stamp and the 18" was removed from NFA.
There is a currently available version, but it isn't the same company, except in name only.

That Colt holster is really cool Edgar. Mine is a Heiser that I got from Bob Rayburn years ago. Rich, it took me a while to find one that fit; suitable ones do show up on ebay from time to time.

Rich, on ebay right now, there is a carved and laced Heiser for what the seller says is a 4 1/2" Woodsman. It is now at $7.50, but may go a little higher.

The second series added 'The Woodsman', and changed the spring housing. the checkered oval went away and was replaced by the straight serrations. These were the first ones designed for high speed ammo.
My Father's Woodsman Target that he said got in 1929, and carried all over, is marked WOODSMAN on the left side of the frame and has the checkered oval on the spring housing.

Note it on his belt just behind my head on this Minnesota Partridge hunt in 1950.

Looks like there are quite a few Woodsman holsters currently on flea bay.
