Stopped at one of my usual gun shops and lo and behold there was this orphan begging to come home with me. As best as I can figure out it's a Model 1953 .22; aka a
Pre-Model 34; and has a 3-1/2" barrel. I also have a Model 34-1 Round butt; that has a better finish then this new one; it also came in a box marked 22/32 Kit Gun Model 34 Square Butt - not the match for the gun though.

I also stopped at another local gun shop and found a strange bird, referred to as the "lost .22. Sheridan, long-time pellet gun/BB Gun Maker, actually made a .22 caliber tip-up barreled gun. Mostly sheet metal, the gun is riveted together; the barrel and the sights were machined from a single piece of steel. Obviously they're fixed..

Some pictures for you:







and here's the strange bird - the Sheridan Knocabout:
