Is there a "K" in that serail number sequence? I suspect that it may be well over to the left and away from the numbers.

This would be an early-ish post war K-22 "Masterpiece", probably 1948 or so... and I would guess it began life as a 6" gun as the 4" guns were not not common until someplace well about K100,000.

Here's a couple of mine..



The gun on the right is a factory new 4" K-22 shown with a like condition 6" gun for comparision. Note the front sights. 4" guns usually had a ramp blade.

Some were cut to shorten, or rebarreled later in life to the handier length.

A good clear snapshot would be telling.

It's rare that these fine little guns don't shoot well...
