Mike,
The Call bead was not standard on the Post war K-22. It HAD been standard on the pre war. I think the mark you see is simply lint or a ding.
I don't agree with a few of the seller's statements.
Serial numbering of all the parts continued into the very early 4 screw Masterpieces from my observations.
He is correct in stating that High polish was phased into the whole model line in the very late 5 screw period. We do know that high polished guns were sometimes built from the 40's onward.
I still contend that the term 'Transition' simply does not apply to any post war Masterpiece. There are many variants, but no transition took place.
I would feel more comfortable about the box if the serial number were shown.
Nice gun, but the high bids are surprising.
