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.

So it would appear the changes didn’t happen on the same gun, at the same time. Maybe you can call it a ‘transition ‘ gun.
